Jacob shall break his clods.
By Jacob, we must understand the ten Tribes. As if God should say here, That Judah shall be put to some difficulties,1 yet Jacob, the ten Tribes must be put to more; Judah shall be carried into Captivity; yea, but Jacob shall break the clods. Though Judah shall plough, yet the breaking the clods is worse than the ploughing,2 for that's more servile, For the Work-Master he is the chief, he goes on in ploughing, but it is his Servant or Boy he may set to break the clods after him. So, though Judah shall be brought to difficulties, yet Jacob shall be put to more difficulties; for the Captivity of Judah was great, yet it was not so great as Jacobs.

So, though Judah shall be brought to difficulties, yet Jacob shal be put to more difficulties; for the Captivity of Judah was great, yet it was not so great as Jacobs.
