Jeremiah 9:24-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 9:24-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
24 Instead, let those who boast boast about this:
that they have understanding, and that they know me.
They know that I am the Lord,
who shows mercy, justice, and righteousness on earth,
for I delight in these things, declares the Lord.
25 Watch! The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will punish all those who are circumcised only in the flesh— 26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and all who cut their hair short[a] and who live in the wilderness.[b] Actually, these are all uncircumcised nations. And the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in their hearts.
