Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 6:5

Remember now - The word translated now is a very tender one, like our “do now remember” or “do remember,” beseeching instead of commanding. Dionysius: “I might command, but I speak tenderly, that I may lead thee to own the truth.” “What Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him.” God did not only raise up Moses, Aaron, Miriam, out of their brethren, but He turned the curse of the alien Balaam into a blessing; and that, not for their righteousness, (for even then... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 6:6-7

Wherewith shall I come before the Lord? - The people, thus arraigned, bursts in, as men do, with professions that they would be no more ungrateful; that they will do anything, everything - but what they ought. With them it shall be but “Ask and have.” They wish only to know, with what they shall come? They would be beforehand with Him, anticipating His wishes; they would, with all the submission of a creature, bow, prostrate themselves before God; they acknowledge His High Majesty, who dwelleth... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 6:8

He hath shewed thee - Micah does not tell them now, as for the first time; which would have excused them. He says, “He hath shewed thee;” He, about whose mind and will and pleasure they were pretending to enquire, the Lord their God. He had shewn it to them. The law was full of it. He shewed it to them, when He said, “And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him and to serve the Lord, thy God with all thy... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 6:5

Micah 6:5. O my people, remember, &c. Call to remembrance what Balaam said in answer to Balak, when he consulted him, namely, that there was no enchantment against Jacob, &c., nothing that could be done against them, nothing that could overthrow them but their own sins; that they were blessed, and it could not be reversed by any thing but their own forsaking God and his service, under whose particular protection they were. From Shittim unto Gilgal From the encampment at Shittim,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 6:6-7

Micah 6:6-7. Wherewith shall I come before the Lord After the preceding reproof of the people’s ingratitude, they are here introduced as anxiously inquiring how they may propitiate God’s displeasure, and avert his judgments. They intimate that they are ready to offer any expiatory sacrifices, though never so costly, for that purpose. Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, &c. Will God accept of the ordinary sacrifices, such as we have offered on other occasions, as an atonement... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 6:8

Micah 6:8. He hath showed thee, O man, what is good He hath showed thee that there is no forgiveness without repentance, and that repentance is but a name, unless there be a ceasing to do evil, and learning to do well: and that this implies the practice of every branch of piety and virtue; the performance of every duty that we owe to God, our neighbour, and ourselves; 1st, To do justly To render to all their dues, to superiors, equals, inferiors; to be true and just to all, and to oppress... 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
