Verse 10
Sarcastically, Micah told the rich oppressors to rise up and depart from the land (cf. Amos 4:4-5). They were wrong to be at rest in Israel when it had become an unclean place because of the people’s sinfulness (cf. Deuteronomy 12:9; Psalms 95:11). They should leave while they could because painful destruction was coming as punishment (cf. Leviticus 18:24-28).
"Their dirty conduct in illtreating their needy neighbors has rendered them unfit to tread Canaan’s soil any longer." [Note: Allen, p. 298.]
