John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 7:15

"And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim." — Jeremiah 7:15 (ASV)

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.
