Hosea 12:2
Judah and Jacob
Again, God’s finger points at Judah and now in a negative sense. Things are going from bad to worse with Israel, but Judah is also bending in the wrong direction. Judah will have to account for deviating from God. In Jacob, the ancestor of the twelve tribes, we may certainly see Ephraim and Judah, the ten and the two tribes together. God will have to punish them all for the way they went and what they did. But in the following verses, God first uses the history of Jacob to show that the way of repentance is still open for the whole people.
