Verse 5
5. the pride of Israel—wherewith they reject the warnings of God's prophets ( :-), and prefer their idols to God (Hosea 7:10; Jeremiah 13:17).
testify to his face—openly to his face he shall be convicted of the pride which is so palpable in him. Or, "in his face," as in Jeremiah 13:17- :.
Judah . . . shall fall with them—This prophecy is later than Jeremiah 13:17- :, when Judah had not gone so far in idolatry; now her imitation of Israel's bad example provokes the threat of her being doomed to share in Israel's punishment.
