Jeremiah 9:24-26
New Century Version
24 But if people want to brag, let them brag
that they understand and know me.
Let them brag that I am the Lord,
and that I am kind and fair,
and that I do things that are right on earth.
This kind of bragging pleases me,” says the Lord.
25 The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will punish all those who are circumcised only in the flesh: 26 the people of Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and the desert people who cut their hair short. The men in all those countries are not circumcised. And the whole family of Israel does not give itself to serving me.”

Jeremiah 9:24-26
New International Version
24 but let the one who boasts boast(A) about this:
that they have the understanding to know(B) me,
that I am the Lord,(C) who exercises kindness,(D)
justice and righteousness(E) on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.
25 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh(F)— 26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the wilderness in distant places.[a](G) For all these nations are really uncircumcised,(H) and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.(I)”
