## when I will punish all the circumcised who are such only in their body ##
|
||
|

## and all the people who cut the hair on their heads ##
|

## For all these nations are uncircumcised ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AT: "Because these nations did not enter into a covenant with Yahweh through circumcision."

## and all the house of Israel has an uncircumcised heart ##
|
||
|
|

An uncircumcised heart represents the character of a person that does not obey Yahweh's laws. AT: "and all the people of Israel have not kept the covenant with Yahweh by obeying him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
