Michée 5:12-15 BDS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 5:7-15

Glorious things are here spoken of the remnant of Jacob, that remnant which was raised of her that halted (Mic. 4:7), and it seems to be that remnant which the Lord our God shall call (Joel 2:32), on whom the Spirit shall be poured out, the remnant that shall be saved, Rom. 9:27. Note, God's people are but a remnant, a small number in comparison with the many that are left to perish, a little flock; but they are the remnant of Jacob, a people in covenant with God, and in his favour.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 5:12

And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand ,.... Such as were formerly practised among the Jews, though forbidden them, and in mystical Babylon, or the antichristian church, whose sorceries are mentioned, Revelation 9:21 ; but nothing of this kind will be found in the Christian church, consisting of Jews and Gentiles, in the latter day; all unlawful arts, cheating and juggling in religious matters, will cease, and be no more: and thou shalt have no more soothsayers ; or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 5:13

Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee ,.... The former were such as were made of wood or stone; the latter statues, such as were molten or cast, and made of gold, silver, or brass; Such as the Jews sometimes worshipped, and are now found in the apostate church of Rome; but will have no place in the Christian churches, or those so called, in the latter day. The Jews indeed have had no idols or idolatrous worship among them since the Babylonish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 5:14

And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee ,.... Planted for idolatrous worship, and which the Jews in the reigns of some of their kings raised, and made use of for such purposes; see 1 Kings 15:13 ; though contrary to the law of God, Deuteronomy 16:21 ; but now there should be nothing of this kind, all idolatry being rooted out of the world. The Targum is, "I will root out the plantations of the people out of the midst of thee:' so will I destroy thy cities ; which... read more

And I will execute vengeance in anger, and fury upon the Heathen ,.... Or "nations" F15 את הגוים "gentes", Junius & Tremellius. ; not the Pagan nations only, but the Papal and Mahometan ones, even all that are enemies to Christ, and his church and people: such as they have not heard ; such terrible judgments, and dreadful expressions of divine wrath and fury, by earthquakes, hailstones, &c.; as were never known or heard of in the world before; see Revelation 16:18 ;... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 5:12

Verse 12 I will cut off, he says, the sorcerers, כשפים , cashephim (155) Some render the word jugglers, and others, augurs or diviners. We cannot know of a certainty what kind of superstition it was, nor the other which immediately follows: (156) for the Prophet mentions here two words which mean nearly the same thing. There is no doubt but that some, in that age, were called augurs or diviners, and others called jugglers or astrologers who are now called fortune-tellers. But on this subject... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 5:13

Verse 13 He now adds, I will cut off thy graven images and thy statues from the midst of thee; and thou shalt not hereafter bend down before the works of thine hands This verse is plain and contains nothing new: for the Prophet teaches that God cannot become propitious to his Church, to keep and make her safe, until he purges her from her filth, even from idolatry and other vices, by which the worship of God was corrupted, or even entirely subverted.I will, therefore, cut off thy graven images... read more
