WORD OF THE DAY:

TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD:

11 August 2013

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version) [Jeremiah 9:23-24]

23. Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches. 

24. "But let him who glories, glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I Am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgement and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight," says the Lord. 

OM GOD TE KEN EN VERSTAAN:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Jeremia 9:23-24]

23. So sê die Here: "Laat die wyse hom nie beroem op sy wysheid nie, en laat die sterke hom nie beroem op sy sterkte nie, laat die ryke hom nie beroem op sy rykdom nie;

24. "Maar laat hy wat wil roem, hom hierop beroem dat hy verstaan en My ken, dat Ek die Here is wat goedertierenheid, reg en geregtigheid op die aarde doen; want in díe dinge het Ek 'n behae," spreek die Here.
