弥迦书 6:3 CUNPSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 6:3-4

Micah 6:3-4. O my people, what have I done unto thee? What injustice or unkindness? Wherein have I wearied thee? What grievous, burdensome impositions have I laid upon thee? Or, what have I done, or said, or enjoined, to cause thee to be weary of me? The words allude to the forms of courts of justice, wherein actions are tried between man and man. God allows his people to offer any plea which they could in their own behalf. For I brought thee out of Egypt, &c. Here, on the other... 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 6:3

"O, my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me."This plaintive cry was addressed by God Himself to his sinful people; and it is related to the basic marvel of unbelief (Mark 6:6). What an incredible thing, really, that a people so blessed and honored by God would rebel against him, despise his laws, and revert to the wretched licentiousness of the Canaanite paganism! Isaiah also echoed this same exclamation: "What more could have been done to my... read more

3. my people—the greatest aggravation of their sin, that God always treated them, and still treats them, as His people. what have I done unto thee?—save kindness, that thou revoltest from Me (Jeremiah 2:5; Jeremiah 2:31). wherein have I wearied thee?—What commandments have I enjoined that should have wearied thee as irksome (1 John 5:3)? read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 6:3

The Lord called the Israelites, His people, to testify how He had caused them to be so weary of Him that they ceased to obey Him. His rhetorical questions were unanswerable; He had not given them reason to become dissatisfied with Him (cf. 1 Samuel 17:29; 1 Samuel 20:1; 1 Samuel 26:18; 1 Samuel 29:8; Isaiah 5:4). His questions convey a sense of pathos; rather than simply criticizing them, He asked how He had failed them. They had complained against Him often, but He had given them no occasion... 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

The Divine Requirements Micah 6:6 Such is the question which the Prophet urges upon the people of Israel. He answers it for them in words which we can hardly ever forget, 'He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?' Of these words it is sometimes said that they are the greatest words in the Old Testament They are, indeed, golden words, and should be carried about by every one who desires to... read more
