Micah 6:1-2. Hear now what the Lord saith Here begins a new discourse, respecting the causes of the evils which hung over the Jewish nation. Arise This is God’s command to Micah; contend thou before the mountains Argue the case between God and thy people; and speak as if thou wouldest make the mountains hear thee, to testify for me.

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 6:1

This begins the concluding section of Micah (Micah 6-7). The prophet had already declared the guilt of Israel and pronounced dramatically the divine sentence of the destruction of their "sinful kingdom," stating also at the same time the salvation that would yet be available to a faithful remnant of the chosen people, preserved and purified through the terrible punishment to come. In this last division of the prophecy, Micah again stressed that the judgment to fall upon them was due solely to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Micah 6:1

Micah 6:1. Hear ye now, &c.— This is a new discourse, addressed to the ten tribes. The Lord commands the prophet to call Israel to judgment before the mountains and the hills, and to receive the condemnation of their ingratitude, infidelity, injustice, and impiety. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Micah 6:1

1. contend thou—Israel is called by Jehovah to plead with Him in controversy. :- suggested the transition from those happy times described in the fourth and fifth chapters, to the prophet's own degenerate times and people. before the mountains—in their presence; personified as if witnesses (compare Micah 1:2; Deuteronomy 32:1; Isaiah 1:2). Not as the Margin, "with"; as God's controversy is with Israel, not with them. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 6:1-2

In this litigation speech, Micah called his audience to hear what Yahweh had told him to say. Yahweh had a case (lawsuit, Heb. rib) to bring against His people. The Lord was summoning Israel to defend herself in a courtroom setting. He addressed the mountains, hills, and foundations of the earth as the jury in this case (cf. Deuteronomy 32:1; Isaiah 1:2). The Lord called this jury, which had observed Israel’s history from its beginning, to hear His indictment against the nation. Compare the... 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
