Book of Hosea Chapter 12 Vs. 2

 The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah


The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. Hos. 12:2


The LORD hath... The 16th prophecy in Hosea (Hos. 12:2), fulfilled. Next, Hos. 12:9.

will punish Jacob... Frequently used interchangeably with Israel (compare 10:11; Gen. 32:28).

When Jacob is mentioned, it is speaking of all 12 tribes of Israel. God is not a respecter of persons. When they sin, they are judged of God, and made to pay whatever punishment God allots to them. He is a forgiving God, but He is also a just God.

Jehovah hath a quarrel with Israel and is about to visit upon Jacob his ways; according to his deeds will He requite them.


The Lord had a charge (rı̂ḇ; cf. Hos. 4:1; also see Hos. 2:2) against Judah and was about to punish His people for their evil ways.
