Consider:
META-INF/versions/9/com/foo/Bar.class has class file version 69.0, but
class file version 53.0 or less is required to target release 9 of the
Java Platform
or, to use a term of art from the JAR File Spec:
com/foo/Bar.class in versioned directory META-INF/versions/9 has class
file version 69.0, but class file version 53.0 or less is required

I think this is better. Probably good enough.
My concern stems from the fact that 'release' doesn't seem to be defined for
_class files_. I see that the term 'release' exists, and maps to a versioned
directory, or you can compile classes _for_ a certain release, But, it seems
that 'the release of a class file' is a new concept here. (after all, `javac`
doesn't produce class files _with_ a certain release).
Maybe: `class file {fp.entryName()} compiled for release
{fp.classReleaseVersion()}, is illegal in version directory {fp.mrversion()}`
(This is perhaps somewhat terse, but `javac` sets the precedent for that. A
user could find out _why_ the version is illegal by referencing the jar file
spec).
Let's try it out with the two examples from the initial description:
release version of META-INF/versions/9/version/Version.class too high: 25
release version of META-INF/versions/10/version/Version.class too high: 25
class file META-INF/versions/9/version/Version.class compiled for release 25,
is illegal in version directory 9
class file META-INF/versions/10/version/Version.class compiled for release 25,
is illegal in version directory 10
What about:
META-INF/versions/9/version/Version.class of class file major version 69 is
unsupported in versioned release 9; only supported in release >= 25
META-INF/versions/10/version/Version.class of class file major version 69 is
unsupported in versioned release 10; only supported in release >= 25
