彌迦書 6:13-15 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 6:9-16

God, having shown them how necessary it was that they should do justly, here shows them how plain it was that they had done unjustly; and since they submitted not to his controversy, nor went the right way to have it taken up, here he proceeds in it. Observe, I. How the action is entered against them, Mic. 6:9. God speaks to the city, to Jerusalem, to Samaria. His voice cries to it by his servants the prophets who were to cry aloud and not spare. Note, The voice of the prophets is the Lord's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 6:13

Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee ,.... With the rod to be heard, Micah 6:9 ; by sending among them some of his sore judgments, as famine, pestilence, the sword of the enemy, internal wars, and the like; which should cause their kingdom, and state, and families, to decline and waste away, as a sickly and diseased body. So the Targum, "and I brought upon thee illness and a stroke.' The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it, "and I began to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 6:14

Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied ,.... Either not having enough to eat, for the refreshing and satisfying of nature; or else a blessing being withheld from food, though eaten, and so not nourishing; or a voracious and insatiable appetite being given as a curse; the first sense seems best: and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee ; meaning they should be humbled and brought down, either by civil discords and wars among themselves, or through the enemy being suffered to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 6:15

Thou shall sow, but thou shalt not reap ,.... Either that which is sown shall not spring up, but rot in the earth; or if it does spring up, and come to maturity, yet, before that, they should be removed into captivity, or slain by the sword, and their enemies should reap the increase of their land, their wheat and their grain: thou shall tread the olives ; in the olive press, to get out the oil: but thou shalt not anoint with oil ; as at feasts for refreshment, and at baths for... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:13

Will I make thee sick in smiting thee - Perhaps better, "I also am weary with smiting thee, in making thee desolate for thy sins." They were corrected, but to no purpose; they had stroke upon stroke, but were not amended. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:14

Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied - All thy possessions are cursed, because of thy sins; and thou hast no real good in all thy enjoyments. And thy casting down - For וישחך veyeshchacha , "thy casting down," Newcome, by transposing the ח and ש , reads ויחשך veyechshach , "and it shall be dark;" and this is probably the true reading. The Arabic and Septuagint have read the same. "There shall be calamity in the midst of thee." It shall have its seat and throne among you. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:15

Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap - Thou shalt labor to amass property, but thou shalt not have God's blessing; and whatever thou collectest, thy enemies shall carry away. And at last carry thyself into captivity. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:13

Verse 13 God, after having declared that he would be the Judge of the people, speaks now more clearly of their punishment. He says therefore that he was armed with vengeance: for it often happens, when a judge, even one who hates wickedness, is not able to punish, for he dreads the fierceness of those whom he thinks himself unequal to restrain. Hence God intimates here, that there will not be wanting to him a power to punish the people, I will afflict thee, he says, by striking or woundingthee;... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:14

Verse 14 And he points out what sort of punishment it would be; and he mentions even two kinds in this verse. He says first, Thou shalt eat, and shalt not be satisfied. One of God’s plagues, we know, is famine: and so the Prophet here declares, that the people would be famished, but not through the sterility of the fields. God indeed brings a famine in two ways: now the land yields no fruit; the corn withers, or, being smitten with hail, gives no fruit; and thus God by the sterility of the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:15

Verse 15 The Prophet adds another kind of punishment, which was to follow the calamity threatened in the last verse. He had said, that those who escaped would at length be destroyed by the sword; he says now, that the whole land would become a prey to enemies: and he took his words from Moses; for it was usual with the prophets, when they wished to secure greater authority to themselves, to quote literally the curses contained in the Law, as in the present instance: see Deuteronomy 28:0 and... read more
