New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Jeremiah 9
22 Speak, "Thus says the Lord, ’The corpses of men will fall like dung on the open field, And like the sheaf after the reaper, But no one will gather them.’"
23 Thus says the Lord, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;
24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the Lord.
25 "Behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord, "that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised-
26 Egypt and Judah, and Edom and the sons of Ammon, and Moab and all those inhabiting the desert who clip the hair on their temples; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart."
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the Lord, "Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them;
3 For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.
4 "They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.
5 "Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, For they can do no harm, Nor can they do any good."
6 There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and great is Your name in might.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
