⁷ Are you not like the Cushites to me,
    O people of Israel? says the Lord.
Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt
    and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?^(A)

² You only have I known
    of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
    for all your iniquities.^(A)
