Micah 2:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 2:6-11

Here are two sins charged upon the people of Israel, and judgments denounced against them for each, such judgments as exactly answer the sin?persecuting God's prophets and oppressing God's poor. I. Persecuting God's prophets, suppressing and silencing them, is a sin that provokes God as much as anything, for it not only spits in the face of his authority over us, but spurns at the bowels of his mercy to us; for his sending prophets to us is a sure and valuable token of his goodwill.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 2:10

Arise ye, and depart ,.... That is, out the land; do not think of a continuance in it, but expect a removal from it; prepare for captivity and exile; look for it every moment, to hear it said to you, arise, and be gone from hence; for, since you have drove others out of their inheritances and possessions, this shall be your case: for this is not your rest ; the land in which the ten tribes then dwelt, and which was given to their fathers for an inheritance, and for a resting place,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 2:10

Arise ye, and depart - Prepare for your captivity; ye shall have no resting place here: the very land is polluted by your iniquities, and shall vomit you out, and it shall be destroyed; and the destruction of it shall be great and sore. Some think this is an exhortation to the godly, to leave a land that was to be destroyed so speedily. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 2:10

Verse 10 Here again the Prophet checks the foolish confidence of the people. The land of Canaan, we know, had been honored by God with the distinction of being a rest; yea God called it, not only the rest of the people, but also his own rest, ‘I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest,’ (Psalms 95:11.) The land of Canaan then was a sort of rest, hidden under the wings of God; for the Lord had assigned it as an inheritance to his chosen people. As God then dwelt in that land,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 2:1-11

Delineations of deep transgression, righteous retribution, and Divine equity. We have in these verses three pictures, drawn by a master hand, and very suggestive of practical teaching. I. A PICTURE OF DEEP TRANSGRESSION . ( Micah 2:1 , Micah 2:2 , Micah 2:8 , Micah 2:9 .) Observe delineated in it: 1 . The abuse of privilege . ( Micah 2:1 .) What a boon is night! "The season of repose; the blessed barrier betwixt day and day," when the hum and bustle, the anxiety... read more

§ 7. The threat announced in Micah 2:3 is further vindicated and applied to individual sinners, with a glance at the false prophets who taught the people to love lies. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 2:10

Arise ye, and depart. The prophet pronounces the oppressors' punishment—they shall be banished from their land, even as they have torn others from their home. This is not your rest. Canaan had been given as a resting place to Israel ( Deuteronomy 12:9 , Deuteronomy 12:10 ; Joshua 1:13 ; Psalms 95:11 ), but it should be so no longer. Because it is polluted. The land is regarded as polluted by the sins of its inhabitants. The idea is often found; e.g. Le 18:25, 28; Numbers 35:33... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 2:10

Sin, the great disturber. It has been so from the beginning; it will be so to the very end. I. SIN WAS THE DISTURBER OF THE EARLIEST EARTHLY PARADISE . It was not the serpent or the temptation, but Adam's sin, that destroyed our first parents' rest. They might have known of the presence of the tempter, have seen his trail, heard his hiss, and been conscious of his solicitations, and yet have continued in the rest of unbroken confidence in God. But when sin entered... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 2:10

The soul's exodus. "Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction." "The prophet, having overthrown, in Micah 2:7-9 , the objection to his threatening prophecies by pointing to the sins of the people, now repeats the announcement of punishment, and that in the form of a summons to go out of the land into captivity, because the land cannot bear the defilement consequent upon such abominations" (Delitzsch). This... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 2:10

Arise ye and depart - Go your way, as being cast out of God’s care and land. It matters not where they went. “For this is not your rest.” As ye have done, so shall it be done unto you. As ye cast out the widow and the fatherless, so shall ye be cast out; as ye gave no rest to those “averse from war,” so shall ye have none Revelation 13:10. “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.” The land was given to them as a... read more
