PREFACE

"Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee" Job:22:21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.. "Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty glory in his might, let not the rich glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord" Jeremiah:9:23-24[23]Thus saith Jehovah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches;[24]but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he hath understanding, and knoweth me, that I am Jehovah who exerciseth lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith Jehovah..

"Then shall we know, if we follow on (in the path of obedience) to know the Lord" Hosea:6:3And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.. "If any man will do His will, he shall know" John:7:17If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.. "The people that do know their God shall be strong" Daniel:11:32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits]..
