**whole family**
The language here, and the expression "house of Jacob," [Amos 3:13](../../../kjv/amos/3/13) evidently gives the prophecy a wider application than to "Israel," the ten-tribe northern kingdom, though the judgment was, in the event, executed first upon the northern kingdom. [2 Kings 17:18-23](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/18-23).

**therefore**
It is noteworthy that Jehovah's controversy with the Gentile cities which hated Israel is brief: "I will send a fire." But Israel had been brought into the place of privilege and so of responsibility, and the Lord's indictment is detailed and unsparing. Cf. [Matthew 11:23](../../../kjv/matthew/11/23); [Luke 12:47](../../../kjv/luke/12/47); [Luke 12:48](../../../kjv/luke/12/48).
