The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:2

Hear, all ye people; rather, all ye peoples; Septuagint, λαοί . All nations are summoned to come and witness the judgment, and to profit by the warning. So Micaiah, son of Imlah, the bold denouncer of false prophets in the age of Ahah, had cried, "Hear, ye peoples, all of you" ( 1 Kings 22:28 ). So Moses, in his song ( Deuteronomy 32:1 ), calls on heaven and earth to listen to his words (comp. Isaiah 1:2 ). These expressions are not mere rhetorical figures; they have a special... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:2

The Lord God a witness against sinners. God never leaves himself without witness among men. He bears witness perpetually to them—by the gifts of his hand ( Acts 14:17 ), by the still small voice within, and by the voice of his messengers. God has borne and still bears witness to us on behalf of Christ. This may be illustrated from John 5:31-39 , where our Lord speaks of three ways in which the Father testified on his behalf. 1 . By the mission of John the Baptist, representing... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 1:1

The word of the Lord that came to Micah ... which he saw - No two of the prophets authenticate their prophecy in exactly the same way. They, one and all, have the same simple statement to make, that this which they say is from God, and through them. A later hand, had it added the titles, would have formed all upon one model. The title was an essential part of the prophetic book, as indicating to the people afterward, that it was not written after the event. It was a witness, not to the prophet... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 1:2

Hear, all ye people - Literally, “hear, ye peoples, all of them.” Some 140, or 150 years had flowed by, since Micaiah, son of Imlah, had closed his prophecy in these words. And now they burst out anew. From age to age the word of God holds its course, ever receiving new fulfillments, never dying out, until the end shall come. The signal fulfillment of the prophecy, to which the former Micalah had called attention in these words, was an earnest of the fulfillment of this present message of... read more

Micah 1:1. In the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Micah is thought to have prophesied about sixteen years in Jotham’s time, as many under Ahaz, and fourteen under Hezekiah: in all, forty-six years.

Which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem Concerning both the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, whereof Samaria and Jerusalem were the capital cities. It is said, Which he saw, &c., because the... read more

Micah 1:2-4. Hear, all ye people All ye of Israel and Judah. Hearken, O earth Or, O land, [of Israel:] and all that therein is That is, all its inhabitants. Let the Lord be witness against you “I call him to witness, that I have forewarned you of the judgments that hang over your heads, unless you speedily repent. And he himself will become a witness against you, and convince you of your sins in such a manner that you shall not be able to deny the charge.” The Lord from his holy... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 1:1-16

1:1-3:12 SAMARIA AND JERUSALEM DOOMEDA picture of coming destruction (1:1-16)The prophet Micah was from a country village in the Judean foothills between the central mountain range and the coastal plain. He was probably a farmer, and he directed his attacks at the upper class city dwellers who drove the farmers into poverty. They lived in luxury by exploiting the poor. As a Judean he was concerned mainly with conditions in his country’s capital, Jerusalem, but he also attacked the northern... read more
