41 Yet I, for my part, proceeded to walk in opposition to them,+ and I had to bring them into the land of their enemies.+

“‘Perhaps* at that time their uncircumcised heart+ will be humbled,+ and at that time they will pay off their error.

6 And Jehovah your God will have to circumcise your heart+ and the heart of your offspring,+ that you may love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul for the sake of your life.+

4 Get yourselves circumcised to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of YOUR hearts,+ YOU men* of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; that my rage may not go forth just like a fire, and it certainly burn with no one to do the extinguishing, on account of the badness of YOUR dealings.”+

29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside,+ and [his] circumcision is that of the heart+ by spirit, and not by a written code.+ The praise+ of that one comes, not from men, but from God.+
