²⁶ Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, “What will be done for the man who strikes down this Philistine and takes away ^(A)the reproach from Israel? For who is this ^(B)uncircumcised Philistine, that he should ^[a](C)reproach the battle lines of ^(D)the living God?”

³⁶ Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has ^[a]reproached the battle lines of the living God.”

²⁵ “Behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet ^(A)uncircumcised— ²⁶ Egypt and Judah, and Edom and the sons of Ammon, and Moab and ^(B)all those inhabiting the desert who clip the hair on their temples; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are ^(C)uncircumcised of heart.”
