“Are you not as the sons of (A)Ethiopia to Me,
O sons of Israel?” declares Yahweh.
“Have I not brought up Israel from the land of Egypt,
And the (B)Philistines from Caphtor and the (C)Arameans from (D)Kir?

And I will (F)destroy it from the face of the earth;

And I will (H)shake the house of Israel among all nations
As grain is shaken in a sieve,
But not a [a]kernel will fall to the ground.
