The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 3:8-12

Gifts for Divine service. I. THEIR NATURE . ( Micah 3:8 .) 1 . " Power ." ( Micah 3:8 .) Weak as the prophet felt himself to be, he was conscious of a Divine influence resting upon him and inspiring him, clothing him with holy energy and irresistible might. His mind and heart had been brought into an enjoyment of the highest and holiest fellowship with the Invisible and Eternal. His soul was animated by the inward witness of the Father's love. His whole nature was quickened... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 3:8-12

The true prophet. "But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. Hear this, I pray you," etc. It is supposed that this chapter belongs to the reign of Hezekiah; if so, the mournful state of matters which it depicts belongs to the time preceding the reformation. These words lead us to consider the true prophet. I. THE WORK OF A TRUE PROPHET . "To declare unto Jacob his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 3:8

And truly I - (Literally, contrariwise I,) that is, whereas they shall be void and no word in them, “I am full of (or filled with) power by the Spirit of the Lord and of judgment and might.” The false prophets, walked after their own spirit, Ezekiel 13:3. Their only power or influence was from without, from favoring circumstances, from adapting themselves to the great or to the people, going along with the tide, and impelling persons whither they wished to go. The power of the true prophet was... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 3:1-12

Corrupt leaders (3:1-12)The nation’s civil leaders are the first to be condemned, because they have reversed the standards of justice. Greedy officials cooperate with corrupt judges to exploit the people for their own benefit. Because of the cruel oppression that they have practised, God will not save them from the fury of the enemy, no matter how much they cry for his help (3:1-4).Religious leaders are also condemned. Prophets preach words of comfort and approval to those who give them food... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 3:8

"But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin."The parallelism in the last two phrases, where Israel and Jacob are used synonymously, is similar to that in Micah 3:1.Micah dared to make in this verse a declaration that is unsurpassed, even in the Bible, for sheer confidence and boldness. The validity of his words for millenniums has vindicated what he said. "The particular form of the... read more

Micah 3:8. But truly I am full of power, &c.— "I speak with courage, fully assured that it is the spirit of God which animates me; and, in consequence hereof, I have the honesty and courage to reprove the crying sins of the nations, though practised and encouraged by the greatest of men; contrary to the base soothings and flatteries of the false prophets, for a little wine and strong drink."

I—in contrast to the false prophets (Micah 3:5; Micah 3:7). full of power—that which "the Spirit of Jehovah" imparts for the discharge of the prophetical function (Luke 1:17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8). judgment—a sense of justice [MAURER]; as opposed to the false prophets' speaking to please men, not from a regard to truth.
