Yirmeyah 7:15

15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your achim, even the whole zera Ephrayim.

Yirmeyah 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:15

And I will cast you out of my sight
Or, "from before my face", or "faces" ^F14; 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.

Yirmeyah 7:15 In-Context

13 And now, because ye have done all these ma’asim, saith Hashem, and I spoke unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye paid not heed; and I called you, but ye answered not;

14 Therefore will I do unto this Beis, which is called by Shmi, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to Avoteichem, as I have done to Shiloh.

15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your achim, even the whole zera Ephrayim.

16 Therefore pray not thou on behalf of HaAm Hazeh, neither lift up plea nor tefillah for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.

17 Seest thou not what they do in the towns of Yehudah and in the chutzot (streets of) Yerushalayim?
