Micah 6:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Micah 6:9

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?

8 He has ^ashown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But ^bto do justly,
To love¹ mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?

Punishment of Israel’s Injustice

9 The Lord’s voice cries to the city—
Wisdom shall see Your name:
“Hear the rod!
Who has appointed it?

10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness
In the house of the wicked,
And the short measure that is an abomination?

11 Shall I count pure those with ^athe wicked scales,
And with the bag of deceitful weights?

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.
