Micah 2:8
_ _ Your ways are not such that I can deal with you as I would with the upright.
_ _ Even of late — literally, “yesterday,” “long ago.” So “of old.” Hebrew, “yesterday” (Isaiah 30:33); “heretofore,” Hebrew, “since yesterday” (Joshua 3:4).
_ _ my people is risen up as an enemy — that is, has rebelled against My precepts; also has become an enemy to the unoffending passers-by.
_ _ robe with the garment — Not content with the outer “garment,” ye greedily rob passers-by of the ornamental “robe” fitting the body closely and flowing down to the feet [Ludovicus De Dieu] (Matthew 5:40).
_ _ as men averse from war — in antithesis to (My people) “as an enemy.” Israel treats the innocent passers-by, though “averse from war,” as an enemy” would treat captives in his power, stripping them of their habiliments as lawful spoils. Grotius translates, “as men returning from war,” that is, as captives over whom the right of war gives the victors an absolute power. English Version is supported by the antithesis. |
Micah 2:8
Is risen up — They have risen up, Israel against Judah, and Judah against Israel, and of late the tribes have conspired against one another; subjects against their kings, and great ones against the meaner sort.

Micah 2:8
Even (h) of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the (i) robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
(h) That is, in past times.
(i) The poor can have no benefit from them, but they rob them, as though they were enemies. |
