Jeremiah 26:18-19 - Exposition

Micah the Morasthite , etc. The "elders" appeal for a precedent to the case of Micah (called after his native place, Moresheth-Gath, to distinguish him from other Micahs), who had been equally explicit in his declarations of woe to Jerusalem, without incurring the charge of blasphemy. The prediction referred to is in Micah 3:12 , the form of which agrees verbally with our passage.
