KJV ORIGINAL
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
"You think you're special to me just because you're Israel?" says God. "Listen, I care about everyone equally. Yeah, I brought you out of Egypt, but I also moved the Philistines from their homeland, and I relocated the Syrians too. You're not my only priority."
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's love isn't exclusive — he's been looking out for all nations, not just the ones who think they're his favorites.
