And I will cast you out of my sight,.... Or, "from before my face", or "faces" ; out of the land of Judea, and cause them to go into captivity; and so the Targum paraphrases it,"I will cause you to remove out of the land of the house of my majesty:''as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim; or Israel, as the Targum; that is, the ten tribes so called, because Ephraim, a principal tribe, and the metropolis of the kingdom, was in it, and Jeroboam, the first king of the ten tribes, was of it: now, as they were carried captive into Babylon, so should the Jews; or they of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin; who could not expect to fare better than their brethren, who were more in number than they; and especially since they were guilty of the same sins.
