Micah 6:4

Micah 6:4

2 ^aHear, O you mountains, ^bthe Lord’s complaint,
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For ^cthe Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will¹ contend with Israel.

3 “O My people, what ^ahave I done to you?
And how have I ^bwearied you?
Testify against Me.

4 ^aFor I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5 O My people, remember now
What ^aBalak king of Moab counseled,
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From¹ Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
That you may know ^bthe righteousness of the Lord.”

6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?

7 ^aWill the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand ^brivers of oil?
^cShall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
¹The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

Barnes' Notes

<< Micah 6:3

Micah 6:5 >>

For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the hoarse of servants - What wert thou? What art thou? Who made thee what thou art? God reminds them. They were slaves; they are His people in the heritage of the pagan, and that by His outstretched arm. God mentions some heads of the mercies which tie had shown them, when He had made them His people, His redemption of them from Egypt, His guidance through the wilderness, His leading them over the last difficulty to the proraised land. The use of the familiar language of the Pentateuch is like the touching of so many key-notes, recalling the whole harmony of His love. Moses, Aaron, and Miriam together, are Lawgiver, to deliver and instruct; Priest, to atone; and prophetess Exodus 15:20 to praise God; and the name of Miriam at once recalled the mighty works at the Red Sea and how they then thanked God.
