“Behold, the days are coming, declares YHVH, when I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh— Egypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the desert who cut the corners of their hair, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
Jeremiah 9:25-26
Those who are circumcised in the flesh only might as well be uncircumcised. They are no better than pagans in God's eyes. What he really wants is a circumcised heart.

The death of the wicked isn't punitive so much as it's instructive. If God kills a man for his sins, he dies so that the living will see it and learn from it. We're supposed to learn from their deaths. Conversely, don't boast so much in the victories, life, blessings, and skills that God gives you, but in the God who gives them.
Three things that God loves:
1) Graciousness and generosity
2) Justice and mercy
3) Obedience to Torah
Jeremiah 9:22-24
Luxury is not fitting for a fool—how much less for a servant to rule over princes!
Proverbs 19:10 TLV
This is advice to a king in training concerning the dispensation of rewards and promotions. If you want to maintain your authority and the loyalty of your people, if you want your ventures to succeed, don't reward fools or promote the incompetent over the competent. Not even for political points.
