but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, saith the Lord.
9:24
But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD (note: Cited in 1 Corinthians 1:31 and 2 Corinthians 10:17), who exercises loving devotion (note: Forms of the Hebrew chesed are translated here and in most cases throughout the Scriptures as loving devotion; the range of meaning includes love, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, as well as loyalty to a covenant.), justice and righteousness on the earth—for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.
