they confess their iniquity and their ancestors’ iniquity which they committed by trespassing against me,
by which they also walked
in hostility against me
26:41 (and I myself will walk in hostility against them and bring them into the land of their enemies), and
then their uncircumcised hearts become humbled and they make up for
their iniquity,
26:42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham,
and I will remember the land.

So what makes you think you can return to me?”
says the Lord.

you,” says the
