25 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that aI will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised—
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the afarthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are buncircumcised in the heart.”
