Micah Capitolo 3 1 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Micah Capitolo 3 2 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
2. pluck off their skin . . . flesh--rob their fellow countrymen of all their substance
(Ps 14:4; Pr 30:14).
Micah Capitolo 3 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3. pot . . . flesh within . . . caldron--manifold species of cruel oppressions. Compare
Eze 24:3,
&c., containing, as to the coming punishment, the same figure as is here used of the sin: implying that the sin and punishment exactly correspond.
Micah Capitolo 3 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. Then--at the time of judgment, which Micah takes for granted, so certain is it (compare
Mic 2:3).
they cry . . . but he will not hear--just as those oppressed by them had formerly cried, and they would not hear. Their prayer shall be rejected, because it is the mere cry of nature for deliverance from pain, not that of repentance for deliverance from sin.
ill in their doings--Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well.
Micah Capitolo 3 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. Here he attacks the false prophets, as before he had attacked the "princes."
make my people err--knowingly mislead My people by not denouncing their sins as incurring judgment.
bite with . . . teeth, and cry, Peace--that is, who, so long as they are supplied with food, promise peace and prosperity in their prophecies.
he that putteth not into their mouths, they . . . prepare war against him--Whenever they are not supplied with food, they foretell war and calamity.
prepare war--literally, "sanctify war," that is, proclaim it as a holy judgment of God because they are not fed (see on
Jer 6:4;
compare
Isa 13:3; Joe 1:14).
Micah Capitolo 3 6 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
6. night . . . dark--Calamities shall press on you so overwhelming as to compel you to cease pretending to divine
(Zec 13:4).
Darkness is often the image of calamity
(Isa 8:22; Am 5:18; 8:9).
Micah Capitolo 3 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. cover their lips--The Orientals prided themselves on the moustache and beard ("upper lip," Margin). To cover it, therefore, was a token of shame and sorrow
(Le 13:45; Eze 24:17, 22).
"They shall be so ashamed of themselves as not to dare to open their mouths or boast of the name of prophet" [CALVIN].
there is no answer of God--They shall no more profess to have responses from God, being struck dumb with calamities
(Mic 3:6).
Micah Capitolo 3 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. I--in contrast to the false prophets
(Mic 3:5, 7).
full of power--that which "the Spirit of Jehovah" imparts for the discharge of the prophetical function
(Lu 1:17; 24:49; Ac 1:8).
judgment--a sense of justice [MAURER]; as opposed to the false prophets' speaking to please men, not from a regard to truth. Or, "judgment" to discern between graver and lighter offenses, and to denounce punishments accordingly [GROTIUS].
might--moral intrepidity in speaking the truth at all costs
(2Ti 1:7).
to declare unto Jacob his . . . sin--
(Isa 58:1).
Not to flatter the sinner as the false prophets do with promises of peace.
Mic 3:1-12.
THE SINS OF THE PRINCES, PROPHETS, AND PRIESTS: THE CONSEQUENT DESOLATION OF ZION.
1. princes--magistrates or judges.
Is it not for you?--Is it not your special function
(Jer 5:4, 5)?
judgment--justice. Ye sit in judgment on others; surely then ye ought to know the judgment for injustice which awaits yourselves
(Ro 2:1).
