Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 3:1-8

Micah’s Indictment of Judah (Micah 3:1-8 ). Micah inveighs first against the leadership of Judah, and then against the prophets who make people err for the sake of money, and the priests who teach for hire. We can compare Isaiah’s similar indictment in e.g. Isaiah 1:23; Isaiah 3:1-4. Micah 3:1 ‘And I said, “Hear, I pray you, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?” ’ ‘And I said.’ A loose opening phrase simply declaring ‘and this is another... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 3:1-8

Micah 3:1-Ruth : . The Unjust Rulers and False Prophets of Judah.— Micah first addresses those whose official duty it is to “ know” justice, i.e. sympathetically, and declares that in fact they love its opposite, and cruelly oppress ( cf. Isaiah 3:15) those they govern. In their (coming) distress, Yahweh will not heed them ( cf. Isaiah 1:15). Micah then turns to the false prophets, whose utterances are dictated by self-interest, and proclaims against them, instead of the well-being they... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Micah 3:4

Then; when that time and those miseries which Micah foretells shall come upon them, Micah 1:6-8; Micah 2:3, when God shall retaliate and pay these great ones in their own coin. They; the cruel oppressors, these tyrannical judges, that pitied none, devoured all, and feared not the Divine vengeance. Cry unto the Lord, as if they were his, and as if he were bound to deliver; they then shall own he can, and none else can deliver them, and they will expect a saving hand after all their rebellions... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Micah 3:1-12

Chapter 3Now the Lord speaks of the coming judgment that is going to come against those that have gone into captivity.And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Micah 3:1-12

Micah 3:10 . They build up Zion with blood. The Chaldaic reads, they build up the houses of Zion with blood. They oppress the poor to a premature death, in order to build their town and country houses, their villas and mansions. Micah 3:12 . Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field. This is a memorable prediction, one that Jeremiah alleged in self-defence: chap. 26:18. Josephus, a spectator of the burning of the temple, says, it was burned on the tenth day of the fifth... read more

Micah 3:1-4Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel Civil rulersI.What civil rulers ought always to be. They ought always to “know judgment,” that is, always practically to know the right. What is the standard of right? Not public sentiment, not human law, but the Divine will. God’s being is the foundation of right; God’s will is the standard of right; God’s Christ is the completest revelation of that standard.II. What civil rulers often are. What were these... read more
