“The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.”
The statement that the LORD has an indictment against Judah and will punish Israel according to their ways indicates that both kingdoms will face judgment for their conduct. The promise to reward Israel according to their deeds suggests that judgment will be proportional and just. This verse extends judgment from the northern to the southern kingdom, suggesting that Judah also shares in the fundamental problem of covenant violation.
