Explanation preview
The LORD continues the sentence begun in verse 25, naming nations he will punish: Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and desert peoples who clip the hair at their temples, a practice associated with mourning or devotion to other gods. Circumcision marked Israel as set apart, yet the LORD says the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.
