The Danger of Fake Repentance
Commentators unanimously highlight that Judah's sin was considered worse than Israel's because their repentance was insincere. While they performed outward reforms, like those under King Josiah, God declared it was done "feignedly" or "with a lie." Scholars like Spurgeon note that this pretended repentance was more hateful to God than Israel's open rebellion, teaching that God detests hypocrisy.
