Micah 6:14

Micah 6:14

12 For her rich men are full of ^aviolence,
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And ^btheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13 “Therefore I will also ^amake you sick by striking you,
By making you desolate because of your sins.

14 ^aYou shall eat, but not be satisfied;
¹Hunger shall be in your midst.
You may carry some away,¹ but shall not save them;
And what you do rescue I will give over to the sword.

15 “You shall ^asow, but not reap;
You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
And make sweet wine, but not drink wine.

16 For the statutes of ^aOmri are ^bkept;
All the works of Ahab’s house are done;
And you walk in their counsels,
That I may make you a¹ desolation,
And your inhabitants a hissing.
Therefore you shall bear the ^creproach of My people.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Micah 6:13

Micah 6:15 >>

In the midst of thee - Thou shalt be cast down at home by thy own hands. Thou shalt take hold - This may refer either to persons or things, on which we lay hold in order to save them. Shalt not deliver - Where thou lodgest thy children, and layest up thy wealth, thither the enemy shall pursue thee; or if thou fly into other countries, it shall not be a safe refuge to thee. Which thou deliverest - For a little while.
