On this verse

If Israel, God's own professing people, provoke him by sin, he will let them know that he has a controversy with them; he sees sin in them, and is displeased with it, nay, their sins are more displeasing to him than the sins of others, as they are a greater grief to his Spirit and dishonour to his name.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The greater My grace to you, the greater shall be your punishment for having despised it, Your being God's people in name, while walking in His love, was an honor; but now the name, without the reality, is only a "reproach" to you.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

The statutes - The idolatrous worship was set up by Omri in the royal city. That I should make thee - This will be the event. The reproach - The reproach threatened in the law, if my people forsake me.
