Micah 2:3
_ _ against this family — against the nation, and especially against those reprobated in Micah 2:1, Micah 2:2.
_ _ I devise an evil — a happy antithesis between God’s dealings and the Jews’ dealings (Micah 2:1). Ye “devise evil” against your fellow countrymen; I devise evil against you. Ye devise it wrongfully, I by righteous retribution in kind.
_ _ from which ye shall not remove your necks — as ye have done from the law. The yoke I shall impose shall be one which ye cannot shake off. They who will not bend to God’s “easy yoke” (Matthew 11:29, Matthew 11:30), shall feel His iron yoke.
_ _ go haughtily — (Compare Note, see on Jeremiah 6:28). Ye shall not walk as now with neck haughtily uplifted, for the yoke shall press down your “neck.”
_ _ this time is evil — rather, “for that time shall be an evil time,” namely, the time of the carrying away into captivity (compare Amos 5:13; Ephesians 5:16). |
