彌迦書 2:8-9 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 2:8-9

Sin an antagonist. "Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory forever." This chapter refers to the character and doings of Israel during the last nine years of Ahaz. A very dark period in Israelitish history was this. "We are told in 2 Chronicles 28:24 , 2 Chronicles 28:25 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 2:9

The women of my people. The prophet refers to the widows, who ought to have been protected and cared for (comp. Isaiah 10:2 ). The LXX ; with which the Arabic agrees, renders, ἡγούμενοι λαοῦ μου , "the leaders of my people." Have ye cast out. The word expresses a violent expulsion, as Genesis 3:24 . Their pleasant houses; literally, the house of their delights ( Micah 1:16 ). The house which was very dear to them, the scene of all their joys. My glory. All the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 2:8

Even of late - (Literally, yesterday.) Jerome: “He imputeth not past sins, but those recent and, as it were, of yesterday.” “My people is risen up vehemently”. God upbraideth them tenderly by the title, “Mine own people,” as John complaineth, “He came unto His own, and His own received Him not” John 1:11. God became not their enemy, but they arose as one man, - “is risen up,” the whole of it, as His. In Him they might have had peace and joy and assured gladness, but they arose in rebellion... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 2:9

The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses - (literally, from her pleasant house,) each from her home. These were probably the widows of those whom they had stripped. Since the houses were their’s, they were widows; and so their spoilers were at war with those whom God had committed to their special love, whom He had declared the objects of His own tender care, “the widows and the fatherless.” The widows they “drove vehemently forth”, as having no portion in the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 2:8-9

Micah 2:8-9 . Of late my people is risen up as an enemy AGAINST ME is to be here understood, namely, against God; for this is still spoken in the person of God. The sense is more evident in the Hebrew than in our translation, namely, But they who were yesterday (or lately) my people rise up (now, or to-day) as an enemy. Ye pull off the robe with the garment Ye are guilty of grievous oppression and inhumanity: ye are not content with spoiling the poor, and those who are weaker than... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 2:1-13

Those who oppress the poor (2:1-13)To an Israelite, a person’s land was his most prized possession. It was not only his means of income, but also part of the family heritage handed down from generation to generation. But the greedy money-enders cared nothing for that. Micah pictures them lying awake at night working out schemes to seize the farmer’s land and, if possible, take the farmer and his family as slaves. They have money and power, and therefore they can do as they wish without thought... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 2:8

"But of late, my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe off the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.""My people ... enemy ..." Several things are inherent in the implications of this verse. God's people who do not obey him may no longer look to God as a friend, their status being changed to that of God's enemy! Furthermore, crimes against one's fellow man must be accounted as equivalent to crimes against God! The particular crime in view in this verse was,... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 2:9

"The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory forever."The outrage and presumptuous arrogance of Israel's sins are in this verse exposed as being particularly despicable in that they were perpetrated against defenseless women and children, the implication being that the women were widows and the children orphans.This undoubtedly claimed the contravention of sacred law. The book of the covenant specifically included among its... read more
