Micah 2:7
_ _ O thou ... named the house of Jacob — priding thyself on the name, though having naught of the spirit, of thy progenitor. Also, bearing the name which ought to remind thee of God’s favors granted to thee because of His covenant with Jacob.
_ _ is the Spirit of the Lord straitened? — Is His compassion contracted within narrower limits now than formerly, so that He should delight in your destruction (compare Psalms 77:7-9; Isaiah 59:1, Isaiah 59:2)?
_ _ are these his doings? — that is, Are such threatenings His delight? Ye dislike the prophets’ threatenings (Micah 2:6): but who is to blame? Not God, for He delights in blessing, rather than threatening; but yourselves (Micah 2:8) who provoke His threatenings [Grotius]. Calvin translates, “Are your doings such as are prescribed by Him?” Ye boast of being God’s peculiar people: Do ye then conform your lives to God’s law?
_ _ do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly — Are not My words good to the upright? If your ways were upright, My words would not be threatening (compare Psalms 18:26; Matthew 11:19; John 7:17). |
Micah 2:7
That art named — You are in name, not in truth, the seed of Jacob. Straitened — The power, wisdom, and kindness of God is not less now than formerly. Are these — Are these severe proceedings the doings your God delighteth in? Do not my words — My words promise all good, to those that with honest hearts walk in the ways of God. |
Micah 2:7
O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? (f) [are] these his doings? do not my words do good to him (g) that walketh uprightly?
(f) Are these your works according to his Law?
(g) Do not the godly find my words comfortable? |
