彌迦書 6:9-12 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 6:9

The Lord's voice crieth unto the city ,.... The Lord having bid his prophet call to the mountains and hills to hear his voice, and the prophet having obeyed his will, and the Lord having by him addressed his people Israel, and expostulated with them about their ingratitude, observing to them many instances of his goodness; here informs them, that this voice of his, whether in his prophet, or in his judgments, was directed to the city, either Samaria or Jerusalem, or both, and even to all the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 6:10

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness the house of the wicked ?.... There are; they continue there. This is the voice of the Lord by the prophet, and the language of the rod of correction to be heard, exposing the sins of the people, for which the Lord had a controversy with them; particularly their mammon of unrighteousness, the vast wealth, riches, and treasures, collected together by very wicked and unlawful ways and means; and which, instead of restoring them to the persons they had... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 6:11

Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances ,.... These are the words either of the prophet, or rather of God, signifying that he could not, and would not, allow, countenance, and approve of persons that used false scales or balances; or justify and reckon them just, as they would be thought to be, but condemn them, and pronounce them very wicked men, and deserving of punishment here and hereafter: and with the bag of deceitful weights ? or "stones" F15 אבני מרמה "lapidum... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 6:12

For the rich men thereof are full of violence ,.... That is, the rich men of the city, to whom the voice of the Lord cried, Micah 6:9 . Jerusalem or Samaria, or any or all the cities of Israel and Judah; the rich men of these cities, who had enough of the world, and were under no temptation to do an ill thing, to get money; and yet their hands and their houses, and their treasuries, as the Targum, were full of goods gotten by violent measures, by the oppression of the poor and needy: ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:9

The Lord's voice crieth unto the city - No man is found to hear; but the man of wisdom will hear, תושיה tushiyah ; a word frequent in the writings of Solomon and Job, signifying wisdom, wealth, substance, reason, essence, happiness; any thing that is complete; or that which is substantial, in opposition to vanity, emptiness, mere show, unsubstantiality. When God speaks, the man of common sense, who has any knowledge of God or his own soul, will see thy name; but instead of יראה yireh ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:10

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness - Such as false balances and deceitful weights. See on Hosea 12:7 ; (note). This shows that they were not Doing Justly. They did not give to each his due. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:12

For the rich men thereof are full of violence - This shows that they did not love mercy. The inhabitants thereof have spoken lies - This shows that they did not humble themselves to walk with God. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:9

Verse 9 The Prophet complains here that he and other teachers did but little, though their cry resounded and was heard by the whole people. He therefore says, that the voice of God cried; as though he had said that there was no excuse for ignorance, for God had indiscriminately exhorted them all to repentance. Now, since what was taught was common to them all, the Prophet deplores their perverseness, for very few were attentive; and the fable was sung, according to the proverb, to the deaf. We... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 6:10

Verse 10 Interpreters differ as to the word האש, eash: some think that it ought to be read האיש, eaish, with an addition of two letters, and render it, “Is it yet man?” But this would render the passage abrupt. Others translate, “Is there yet fire?” As though it was אש, ash; and they suppose that wealth, wickedly and unjustly got, is so called, because it consumes itself. But as this is against what grammar requires, I am more inclined to take their view, who think that האש, eash, is to be... read more
