Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 1:9

"For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth even to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.""Her wounds are incurable ..." The reason why Samaria's wound was fatal resided in the fact of Jerusalem itself having become corrupted. In Jerusalem should have been the true worship capable of reclaiming the apostate northern kingdom; but the opposite had occurred. Samaria's sins had been approved and adopted in Jerusalem, hence the wound could not be healed. The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Micah 1:9

Micah 1:9. For her wound is incurable— "The desolation of the ten tribes cannot be prevented, because they persist in their impieties; therefore no relief can be applied: it must terminate in their destruction. At the same time, one aggravating circumstance attends it, as being the forerunner of those evils which will come upon Jerusalem, whose gates Sennacherib will attempt to force, in order to make himself master of that city, and the whole kingdom of Judah." See Calmet. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Micah 1:9

9. wound . . . incurable—Her case, politically and morally, is desperate ( :-). it is come—the wound, or impending calamity (compare :-). he is come . . . even to Jerusalem—The evil is no longer limited to Israel. The prophet foresees Sennacherib coming even "to the gate" of the principal city. The use of "it" and "he" is appropriately distinct. "It," the calamity, "came unto" Judah, many of the inhabitants of which suffered, but did not reach the citizens of Jerusalem, "the gate" of which the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 1:2-13

II. THE FIRST ORACLE: ISRAEL’S IMPENDING JUDGMENT AND FUTURE RESTORATION 1:2-2:13This is the first of three messages that compose the Book of Micah (cf. chs. 3-5; 6-7). Each of these messages gives evidence of containing other messages that Micah evidently preached and then compiled into the canonical form in which we have them. Each of the three main messages begins with the same imperative (Heb. shm’), translated "Hear" (cf. Deuteronomy 6:4). In each one, promises of restoration follow... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 1:9

Samaria had a wound from which she could not recover, namely, a wound of punishment caused by her sin (cf. 1 Kings 20:21). This sin and its consequence had also infected Judah, even the capital city of Jerusalem (cf. Isaiah 1:5-6). Jerusalem should have been especially holy because of the temple and God’s presence there, but it was polluted. Punishment reached the gate of Jerusalem in 701 B.C. when Sennacherib attacked the city, but the Lord turned back the invader (cf. 2 Kings 18-19)."The... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:1-16

Judgment on Samaria and JudahSargon destroyed Samaria, the capital of North Israel, 722 or 721. Micah, about 720 b.c., declaring (Micah 1:6) that Samaria’s fall has been due to its sin, announces a like fate for Jerusalem, guilty of a like sin (Micah 1:9). To the prophet this ruin of the people is not like that of the other nations Assyria has destroyed. Since God is manifesting Himself in it, Micah summons the nations to witness the event (Micah 1:2-4). The scourge will fall most heavily on... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Micah 1:9

(9) Her wound is incurable.—The state of Samaria is incurable: she is doomed: the destroyer is approaching—nay, he comes near, even to Jerusalem. The outlying towns are described as shuddering at the invader’s advance, but Jerusalem itself is spared. read more
