“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.”
True boasting in God: 'But let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the LORD.' This verse establishes what alone is worthy of boasting: 'understanding to know me,' combined with recognition that God 'exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth.' The phrase 'for in these I delight' indicates that God's character is defined by these virtues. Theologically, this verse establishes that true wisdom is the knowledge of God, not intellectual achievement; true security is in God's character and actions.
