Structure
NKJV groups this chapter into:
- Jeremiah 9:1-16 = The Prophet Mourns for the People (continued from Jeremiah 8:18-22)
- Jeremiah 9:17-26 = The People Mourn in Judgment
Verse 25
- “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
- “that I will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised—”[5]
Cross reference: Ezekiel 6:5
- "Behold, the days are coming": a typical phrase in Jeremiah's prophecy.[6]
Verse 26
- “Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the farthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness.
- For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.” (NKJV)[7]
- "Uncircumcised in the heart": denoting "the physical marks of religious devotion... without an obedient will."[6] Circumcision as a sign of God's covenant with Abraham was meaningless without a faithful heart to God; God would ignore it when it was just "an outward symbol" (Deuteronomy 10:12-22).[8]
