23 This is what the Lord says: The wise must not boast in his wisdom; the mighty must not boast in his might; the rich must not boast in his riches.
24
But the one who boasts should boast in this, that he understands and knows Me[a]- that I am the Lord, showing faithful love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things. [This is] the Lord's declaration.
25
"The days are coming"-the Lord's declaration-"when I will punish all the circumcised yet uncircumcised:[b]
26
Egypt, Judah, Edom, the Ammonites, Moab, all those who clip the hair on their temples[c] and reside in the wilderness. All these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart."[d]
