Micah 6:8
_ _ He — Jehovah.
_ _ hath showed thee — long ago, so that thou needest not ask the question as if thou hadst never heard (Micah 6:6; compare Deuteronomy 10:12; Deuteronomy 30:11-14).
_ _ what is good — “the good things to come” under Messiah, of which “the law had the shadow.” The Mosaic sacrifices were but suggestive foreshadowings of His better sacrifice (Hebrews 9:23; Hebrews 10:1). To have this “good” first “showed,” or revealed by the Spirit, is the only basis for the superstructure of the moral requirements which follow. Thus the way was prepared for the Gospel. The banishment of the Jews from Palestine is designed to preclude the possibility of their looking to the Mosaic rites for redemption, and shuts them up to Messiah.
_ _ justly ... mercy — preferred by God to sacrifices. For the latter being positive ordinances, are only means designed with a view to the former, which being moral duties are the ends, and of everlasting obligation (1 Samuel 15:22; Hosea 6:6; Hosea 12:6; Amos 5:22, Amos 5:24). Two duties towards man are specified — justice, or strict equity; and mercy, or a kindly abatement of what we might justly demand, and a hearty desire to do good to others.
_ _ to walk humbly with thy God — passive and active obedience towards God. The three moral duties here are summed up by our Lord (Matthew 23:23), “judgment, mercy, and faith” (in Luke 11:42, “the love of God”). Compare James 1:27. To walk with God implies constant prayer and watchfulness, familiar yet “humble” converse with God (Genesis 5:24; Genesis 17:1). |
Micah 6:8
He — God hath already told you in his word, with what you ought to come before him. To do justly — To render to every one their due, superiors, equals, inferiors, to be equal to all, and oppress none, in body, goods or name; in all your dealings with men carry a chancery in your own beasts, and do according to equity. To love mercy — To be kind, merciful and compassionate to all, not using severity towards any. Walk humbly with thy God — Keep up a constant fellowship with God, by humble, holy faith. |
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, (g) but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
