²² Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

¹ Say ye to your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

²² Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
