Jeremiah 9:25

Compare all

23 Thus says the Lord:
^a“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his ^bmight,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;

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 9:25

I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised - Do not imagine that you, because of your crimes, are the only objects of my displeasure; the circumcised and the uncircumcised, the Jew and the Gentile, shall equally feel the stroke of my justice, their transgressions being alike, after their advantages and disadvantages are duly compared. In like manner, other nations also were delivered into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, these he immediately enumerates: Egypt and Edom, and the Moabites and the Ammonites, and the Arabians of the desert. All these nations were uncircumcised in that way which God required that rite to be practiced as a sign of his covenant; and the Israelites, that did practice it as a sign of that covenant, did not attend to its spiritual meaning, for they were all uncircumcised in heart. And it may be remarked, that these people were in general confederated against the Chaldeans.
