Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 6:10-12

Micah 6:10-12. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness, &c. Notwithstanding all the express laws, the exhortations and reproofs given you upon this subject, and so many examples of punishment set before you; still are there many that use unjust and fraudulent means to enrich themselves? who keep scant measures to sell their goods by, which the law of God often declares to be an abomination to him? The reproof is the same with that of Amos 8:5, where see the note. Shall I count them... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 6:1-16

6:1-7:20 GOD ACCUSES AND THE PEOPLE REPLYWhat God desires (6:1-16)Returning to conditions in his own time, Micah pictures a courtroom where, with the heavens and earth as witnesses, God accuses his people of unfaithfulness (6:1-2). God recalls the great things he has done for them, as if asking why they treat him so badly in return (3-5).The people’s reply shows their misunderstanding. They ask what sort of worship God wants. Does he want sacrifices that are exact according to the letter of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 6:12

"For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth."Allen translated Micah 6:11-12 thus:"Can I condone the wrongly set scales or the bag of false weights? Her men of wealth are addicted to violence, her citizens speak lies, the tongues in their mouths are utterly deceitful."[26] Throughout Micah 6:9-12, "The questions are affirmative."[27] God is not asking the people about their wickedness; he is... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 6:12

The rich people of Jerusalem practiced violence (lawlessness) in obtaining what they wanted from the weak. They lied to one another and practiced trickery and deception to obtain their desires. All of this was evidence of injustice that arose from a heart of unkindness toward others and lack of submission to God (Micah 6:8). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:1-16

God’s Arraignment of His people1-8. Micah’s message to the discouraged believers. They have lost heart because of the apparent contradiction between the promises of their prophets and the hard facts of their history. They have lost faith in God’s grace, and are trying to propitiate His favour by such sacrifices as the heathen offered to their gods. Micah appeals to nature, to history, and to the reasonable service God requires. He calls on the hills to witness what God has done (Micah 6:1-2).... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:1-20

God’s Great Controversy with IsraelNote the change in the prophet’s attitude. He speaks no longer to a united nation, but to parties. Now he speaks to a party, pious but discouraged (Micah 6:1-8); again, he testifies against men who have turned their backs on the Law (Micah 6:9-16). Persecution for religion’s sake has appeared, and taught men to distrust each other (Micah 7:2-6) Probably the chapters date from the time of Manasseh. Sennacherib recoiled baffled from Jerusalem, but Assyria was... read more
