Deuteronomy 10:14-16 NIV

[14] To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. [15] Yet the LORD set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today. [16] Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.
