scripture, 9.1.07

UPDATE: I originally wrote this entry on waking up in the middle of the night, and so made a hopeless hash of the pronouns. Hopefully, it makes more sense now.

This was both encouraging and convicting:

"'Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom;
Let not the mighty man glory in his might;
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
But let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and 
righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,' says the Lord" 
     (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
"'Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed by the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
For the customs of the peoples are futile...
A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine...
But the Lord God is the true God;
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.'"
      (Jer. 10:2-3a, 8, 10)

I'm a bit confused by the capitalization of pronouns in the first passage. Who is the "Him" and "He" of lines 4 and 5?

Answered your question over at my blog. Hope that is the code you were looking for.

PS: Terrablogs aslo has the original code for your main index, etc for download if you ever want to check there.

Still happy to help with any questions you may have. (I get lots of hits that way!)
