^16 (A)So that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And ^(B)he who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.

²⁴ But ^(A)let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, ^[a]judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
^(B)For in these I delight,” says the Lord.
