Deuteronomy 10:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 yet the Lord’s sole delight was in your fathers. He loved them so much that he chose you, their descendants, above every other nation, which is still true today.
16 Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, and stop being stiff-necked,[a] 17 for the Lord, your God, is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, a great God, mighty and awesome, who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.

- Deuteronomy 10:16 See Jer 4:4. The rite of circumcision of the flesh is worthless without a conversion of heart. This thought will recur often, as will that of the stiff neck; see the exclamation of Stephen in Acts 7:51: “You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts!”
