Micah 4:9
_ _ Addressed to the daughter of Zion, in her consternation at the approach of the Chaldeans.
_ _ is there no king in thee? — asked tauntingly. There is a king in her; but it is the same as if there were none, so helpless to devise means of escape are he and his counselors [Maurer]. Or, Zion’s pains are because her king is taken away from her (Jeremiah 52:9; Lamentations 4:20; Ezekiel 12:13) [Calvin]. The former is perhaps the preferable view (compare Jeremiah 49:7). The latter, however, describes better Zion’s kingless state during her present long dispersion (Hosea 3:4, Hosea 3:5). |
Micah 4:9
Now — Now I have promised such great things to you. No king — Thou hast lost thy king Zedekiah, but thy God, thy king is with thee. Thy counsellor — Hast thou none among thy wise counsellors left? Yet the Wonderful Counsellor is with thee. Messiah, the wisdom of his father, hath the conduct of thy sufferings, deliverance and re — establishment. |
Micah 4:9
Now why dost thou cry out aloud? [is (l) there] no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
(l) In the meantime he shows that they would endure great troubles and temptations, when they saw themselves neither to have king nor counsel. |
