Micah 2:9

Micah 2:9

7 You who are named the house of Jacob:
“Is the Spirit of the Lord restricted?
Are these His doings?
Do not My words do good
To him who walks uprightly?

8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy—
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.

9 The women of My people you cast out
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.

10 “Arise and depart,
For this is not your ^arest;
Because it is ^bdefiled, it shall destroy,
Yes, with utter destruction.

11 If a man should walk in a false spirit
And speak a lie, saying,
‘I will¹ prophesy to you of wine and drink,’
Even he would be the ^aprattler of this people.

Israel Restored

12 “I^a will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob,
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together ^blike sheep of the fold,
Like a flock in the midst of their pasture;
^cThey shall make a loud noise because of so many people.

13 The one who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out,
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
^aTheir king will pass before them,
^bWith the Lord at their head.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Micah 2:8

Micah 2:10 >>

The women - The widows. Of my people - Of Israelites, not strangers, that were by peculiar provision from God's law, to be tenderly dealt with, Exodus 22:22. Cast out - You have turned out of their old habitations. From their children - You have turned their children out of their houses, and estates, which were secured by the law of God from any sale beyond the jubilee; yet you have confiscated them for ever. My glory - Which was the glory of my bounty to them.
