Arise ye, and depart—not an exhortation to the children of God to depart out of an ungodly world, as it is often applied; though that sentiment is a scriptural one. This world is doubtless not our "rest," being "polluted" with sin: it is our passage, not our portion; our aim, not our home (II Corinthians 6:17; Hebrews 13:14). The imperatives express the certainty of the future event predicted. "Since such are your doings (compare Micah 2:7-8, etc.), My sentence on you is irrevocable (Micah 2:4-5), however distasteful to you (Micah 2:6); ye who have cast out others from their homes and possessions (Micah 2:2, Micah 2:8-9) must arise, depart, and be cast out of your own (Micah 2:4-5): for this is not your rest" (Numbers 10:33; Deuteronomy 12:9; Psalms 95:11). Canaan was designed to be a rest to them after their wilderness fatigues. But it is to be so no longer. Thus God refutes the people's self-confidence, as if God were bound to them inseparably. The promise (Psalms 132:14) is quite consistent with temporary withdrawal of God from Israel for their sins.
it shall destroy you—The land shall spew you out, because of the defilements wherewith ye "polluted" it (Leviticus 18:25, Leviticus 18:28; Jeremiah 3:2; Ezekiel 36:12-14).
