彌迦書 1:9 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 1:8-16

We have here a long train of mourners attending the funeral of a ruined kingdom. I. The prophet is himself chief mourner (Mic. 1:8, 9): I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked, as a man distracted with grief. The prophets usually expressed their own grief for the public grievances, partly to mollify the predictions of them, and to make it appear that is was not out of ill-will that they denounced the judgments of God (so far were they from desiring the woeful day that they dreaded... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 1:9

For her wound is incurable ,.... Or her "stroke is desperate" F5 אנושה מכותיה "desperata est plaga ejus", V. L. "plagae ejus", Montanus, Drusius. . The ruin of Samaria, and the ten tribes, was inevitable; the decree being gone forth, and they hardened in their sins, and continuing in their impenitence; and their destruction was irrevocable; they were not to be restored again, nor are they to this day; nor will be till the time comes that all Israel shall be saved: or "she is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:9

Her wound is incurable - Nothing shall prevent their utter ruin, for they have filled up the measure of their iniquity. He is come - even to Jerusalem - The desolation and captivity of Israel shall first take place; that of Judah shall come after. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:9

Verse 9 He afterwards subjoins, that the wounds vault be grievous; but he speaks as of what was present, Grievous, he says, are the wounds Grievous means properly full of grief; others render it desperate or incurable, but it is a meaning which suits not this place; for אנושה, anushe, means what we express in French by douloureuse. The wounds, then, are full of grief: for it came, (something is understood; it may suitably be referred to the enemy, or, what is more approved, to the slaughter) —... read more

Moral incurableness. "Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem." These verses have been thus translated: "Therefore will I lament and howl; I will go spoiled and naked; I will keep lamentation like the jackats, and mourning like the ostriches. For her stripes are malignant; for it comes to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 1:9

Her wound; her stripes , the punishment inflicted on Samaria. Incurable (comp. Jeremiah 15:18 ) The day of grace is past, and Israel has not repented. It is come. The stripe, the punishment, reaches Judah. To the prophetic eye the Assyrians' invasion of Judaea seems close at hand, and even the final attack of the Chaldeans comes within his view. The same sins in the northern and southern capitals lead to the same fate. He is come. He, the enemy, the agent of the "stripe." The gate... read more

For her - Samaria’sWound - o, (literally, her wounds, or strokes, (the word is used especially of those inflicted by God, (Leviticus 26:21; Numbers 11:33; Deuteronomy 28:59, Deuteronomy 28:61, etc.) each, one by one,) is incurable The idiom is used of inflictions on the body politic (Nahum 3:0 ult.; Jeremiah 30:12, Jeremiah 30:15) or the mind , for which there is no remedy. The wounds were very sick, or incurable, not in themselves or on God’s part, but on Israel’s. The day of grace passes away... read more

Micah 1:8-9. Therefore I will wail and howl I will mourn and lament. I will go stripped and naked That is, without an upper garment; or with garments rent and torn. This would fitly denote the naked condition to which the ten tribes were to be reduced by their enemies. I will make a wailing like dragons The word rendered dragons, according to Pocock on the place, may “signify a kind of wild beast like a dog, between a dog and a fox, or a wolf and a fox, which the Arabians, from the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 1:1-16

1:1-3:12 SAMARIA AND JERUSALEM DOOMEDA picture of coming destruction (1:1-16)The prophet Micah was from a country village in the Judean foothills between the central mountain range and the coastal plain. He was probably a farmer, and he directed his attacks at the upper class city dwellers who drove the farmers into poverty. They lived in luxury by exploiting the poor. As a Judean he was concerned mainly with conditions in his country’s capital, Jerusalem, but he also attacked the northern... read more
