Micah 6:16
_ _ statutes of Omri — the founder of Samaria and of Ahab’s wicked house; and a supporter of Jeroboam’s superstitions (1 Kings 16:16-28). This verse is a recapitulation of what was more fully stated before, Judah’s sin and consequent punishment. Judah, though at variance with Israel on all things else, imitated her impiety.
_ _ works of ... Ahab — (1 Kings 21:25, 1 Kings 21:26).
_ _ ye walk in their counsels — Though these superstitions were the fruit of their king’s “counsels” as a master stroke of state policy, yet these pretexts were no excuse for setting at naught the counsels and will of God.
_ _ that I should make thee a desolation — Thy conduct is framed so, as if it was thy set purpose “that I should make thee a desolation.”
_ _ inhabitants thereof — namely, of Jerusalem.
_ _ hissing — (Lamentations 2:15).
_ _ the reproach of my people — The very thing ye boast of, namely, that ye are “My people,” will only increase the severity of your punishment. The greater My grace to you, the greater shall be your punishment for having despised it, Your being God’s people in name, while walking in His love, was an honor; but now the name, without the reality, is only a “reproach” to you. |
Micah 6:16
The statutes — The idolatrous worship was set up by Omri in the royal city. Ye — O house of Israel. That I should make thee — This will be the event. Thereof — Of the land. The reproach — The reproach threatened in the law, if my people forsake me. |
Micah 6:16
For the (m) statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
(m) You have received all the corruption and idolatry with which the ten tribes were infected under Omri and Ahab his son: and to excuse your doings, you allege the King's authority by his statutes, and also wisdom and policy in so doing, but you will not escape punishment. But as I have shown you great favour, and taken you for my people, so will your plagues be according as your sins; (Luke 12:47). |
