⁴¹ so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their ^(A)uncircumcised heart is ^(B)humbled and they make amends for their iniquity,

⁶ “Know, therefore, that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are ^(A)a stubborn people.

²⁷ For I know how rebellious and ^(A)stubborn you are. Behold, even today while I am yet alive with you, ^(B)you have been rebellious against the Lord. How much more after my death!
