“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?”
The rhetorical question about whether the LORD did not bring up Israel from Egypt also the Ethiopians from Cush and the Canaanites from Caphtor indicates that God has guided multiple peoples. The implication suggests that Israel's election does not guarantee special treatment.
