“And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:”
Which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies — then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin. The uncircumcised hearts that must be humbled — the hearts that have not received the covenant's circumcision of spiritual transformation — communicate the depth of the required change. Deuteronomy 30:6 promises that God will circumcise the hearts of Israel and their descendants to love God with all their heart. The humbled and circumcised heart that pays for sin is the precondition for the restoration that follows.
