24. Formal Translation But let the one who boasts boast in this: that he understands and knows Me {Yahweh, Covenant Revealer}, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the land; for I delight in these, declares the LORD. |
24. Dynamic Translation If anyone insists on boasting, let it be about this alone: that he truly grasps and knows Me, that I am the LORD {Yahweh, Moral Judge} who shows kindness, upholds justice, and establishes what is right throughout the earth. These are the things that bring Me delight; this is My declaration. |
