John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 1:7

And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces ,.... By the Assyrian army, for the sake of the gold and silver of which they were, made, or with which they were adorned, as was usually done by conquerors to the gods of the nations they conquered; these were the calf of Samaria, and other idols; and not only those in the city of Samaria, but in all the other cities of Israel which fell into the hands of the Assyrian monarch; see Isaiah 10:11 ; and all the hires thereof shall... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:7

All the hires thereof shall be burned - Multitudes of women gave the money they gained by their public prostitution at the temples for the support of the priesthood, the ornamenting of the walls, altars, and images. So that these things, and perhaps several of the images themselves, were literally the hire of the harlots: and God threatens here to deliver all into the hands of enemies who should seize on this wealth, and literally spend it in the same way in which it was acquired; so that... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:7

Verse 7 The Prophet goes on with the same subject, and says, that the ruin of Samaria was at hand, so that its idols would be broken, and also, that its wealth would be destroyed which she had gathered by illegitimate means, and which she thought to be the reward of her idolatry. But God mentions idols here expressly by his Prophet, in order to confirm what we noticed yesterday — that the cause of vengeance was, because Samaria had abandoned itself to ungodly forms of worship, and had departed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:2-7

The Divine judgments against Israel. Micah was a prophet of Judah, and had special reference in his prophecy to that kingdom. Still, he referred also to the kingdom of Israel. In these verses he directed attention to the tribulations speedily to come upon the kingdom of Israel; and, whilst his words have reference to "the dead past," they suggest lessons for all times. Consider— I. THE DIVINE JUDGMENTS AGAINST THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL AS HERB PREDICTED . Note: 1 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:3-7

God's procedure in relation to sin. "For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth," etc. This is a highly figurative and sublime representation of the Almighty in his retributive work, especially in relation to Samaria and Jerusalem. He is represented as leaving his holy temple, coming out of his place, and marching with overwhelming grandeur over the high places of the earth, to deal out punishment to the wicked.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:7

Graven images. The stone idols ( Isaiah 10:10 ). Septuagint, τὰ γλυπτά . The hires thereof. The word properly means, "the wages of prostitution." Idolatry is viewed as spiritual fornication, and the offerings made to the idol temples are reckoned to be harlot gifts. Hosea speaks in the same way ( Hosea 2:5 , Hosea 2:8 , Hosea 2:12 ; Hosea 9:1 ; comp. Isaiah 23:17 ; Ezekiel 16:31 ). There may be allusion to the shameful practices consecrated with the name of religion, the... read more

And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces - Its idols in whom she trusts, so far from protecting her, shall themselves go into captivity, broken up for the gold and silver whereof they were made. The wars of the Assyrians being religious wars , the idolatry of Assyria destroyed the idolatry and idols of Israel.And all the hires thereof shall be burned with fire - All forsaking of God being spiritual fornication from Him who made His creatures for Himself, the hires are all... read more

Micah 1:6-7. Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap A heap of ruins. And as plantings of a vineyard As in planting vineyards men dig the earth, and cast it up in hillocks, so shall they make this city. The Vulgate reads, I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in a field, when a vineyard is planted. I will pour down the stones thereof, &c. The stones of it shall be tumbled down, from the lofty eminence on which it is situated, into the valley beneath, and shall leave the... read more
