He judged <01777> (8804) the cause <01779> of the poor <06041> and needy <034>; then [it was] well <02896> [with him: was] not this to know <01847> me? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
BBE
He was judge in the cause of the poor and those in need; then it was well. Was not this to have knowledge of me? says the Lord.

NET
He upheld the cause of the poor and needy. So things went well for Judah.’* The Lord says, ‘That is a good example of what it means to know me.’*
NET
22:16 He upheld the cause of the poor and needy.
So things went well for Judah.’1247
tn The words “for Judah” are not in the text, but the absence of the preposition plus object as in the preceding verse suggests that this is a more general statement, i.e., “things went well for everyone.”
The Lord says,
‘That is a good example of what it means to know me.’1248
tnHeb “Is that not what it means to know me.” The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer. It is translated in the light of the context.
sn Comparison of the usage of the words “know me” in their context in Jer 2:8; 9:3, 6, 24 and here will show that more than mere intellectual knowledge is involved. It involves also personal commitment to God and obedience to the demands of the agreements with him. The word “know” is used in ancient Near Eastern treaty contexts of submission to the will of the overlord. See further the notes on 9:3.
Jeremiah 22:16
