Jeremiah 9:25

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,.... Or, "are coming" ; it seems to respect the time after the Babylonish captivity, when the punishment after threatened took place, and not before:that I will punish all them that are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Jews and Gentiles together.

The circumcised. Jews trusting in their circumcision, and being, as is said in the next verse, uncircumcised in heart, were no better than the uncircumcised Gentiles; wherefore both being transgressors of the law, and despisers of the Gospel of Christ, are threatened with destruction; see Ro 2:12.
