24 But ^alet him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness,¹ judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
^bFor in these I delight,” says the Lord.

25 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that ^aI will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised—

26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the ^afarthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are ^buncircumcised in the heart.”

Jeremiah 9:26

All that are in the utmost corners - col ketsutsey pheah . These words have been variously understood. The Vulgate translates: Omnes qui attonsi sunt in comam ; "All who have their hair cut short." The Targum, Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic have understood it nearly in the same way; and so our margin. Others think that the insular or peninsular situation of the people is referred to. Dr. Blayney thinks the Arabians are meant, who dwelt in the great desert, between Mesopotamia and Palestine. I really think our marginal reading should be preferred, as expressing the sense of all the ancient Versions.
