Jeremiah 9:25-26

[25] Behold, the days  come,  saith  the LORD,  that I will punish  all them which are circumcised  with the uncircumcised;  [26] Egypt,  and Judah,  and Edom,  and the children  of Ammon,  and Moab,  and all that are in the utmost  corners,  that dwell  in the wilderness:  for all these nations  are uncircumcised,  and all the house  of Israel  are uncircumcised  in the heart.

Contextual Meaning

Trust in religious ritual ( Jeremiah 9:25-26) is just as wrong as trust in human achievements ( Jeremiah 9:23-24).
"Just as the knowledge of God is more important than Wisdom of Solomon , power, or might, even so faith that springs from the heart is more important than any outward show of religion." [1]
