These are the words of Yahweh.

This is Yahweh's declaration

See how you translated this in Jeremiah 1:7.

when I will punish all the circumcised who are such only in their body

This refers to the people of Israel who have entered into a covenant with Yahweh by getting circumcised physically. However, they have not followed His laws.

and all the people who cut the hair on their heads

AT: This probably refers to people who cut their hair short in order to honor a pagan god. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

For all these nations are uncircumcised

AT: "Because these nations did not enter into a covenant with Yahweh through circumcision."

and all the house of Israel has an uncircumcised heart

An uncircumcised heart represents the character of a person that does not obey Yahweh's laws. AT: "and all the people of Israel have not kept the covenant with Yahweh by obeying him." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
