Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 9:24

24 But let him that gloryeth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgement and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Whether we make any curious distinction between understanding God, as if that be more speculative, whereby we rightly apprehend his nature; and knowing God as if that be more practical as directing the conversation, we need not here inquire, yet certainly both center in this, that we so know, and understand God as to trust in him, and depend on him alone in all conditions.

Kindness as it relates to his own people, Psal. 5.12. Iudgement with reference to his punishing the wicked, Righteousness namely as he deals justly and uprightly with both, Psal. 92.15. the meaning here I conceive, is to shew Gods orderly governing and disposing of things in the World in his distributive justice, that all things are right and equal.

Both in himself and others, Psal. 11.7.
