Rashi's Commentary, c. 1075. chabad.org. |
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "The Prophet being
assured of his vocation by the Spirit of God, sets himself alone against
all the wicked, showing how God gave him gifts, ability and knowledge,
to discern between good and evil, and also steadfastness and endurance
to reprove the sins of the people, and not to flatter them." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Even when men do that
which in itself is good, but do it for filthy lucre, it becomes
abomination both to God and man. Faith rests in the Lord as the soul's
foundation: presumption only leans upon the Lord as a prop, and would
use him to serve a turn." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "This is that passage,
which is quoted, Jer 26:18, which Hezekiah and his princes
took well: yea, they repented and so the execution of it did not come in
their days." |
|
|
John Calvin's Commentary
on Micah.
| "We
now see that the word of God is not bound, but that it puts forth its
power against the highest as well as the lowest; for it is the Spirit's
office to arraign the whole world, and not a part only." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The Talmud and Maimonides
record that at the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans under Titus,
Terentius Rufus, who was left in command of the army, with a ploughshare
tore up the foundations of the temple." |

Commentary,
Micah 3:5-12, Carolyn J. Sharp, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.
|
"Believers dare
not take the prophetic word for granted. Hearing that word is never
easy, though, because it holds us and our communities accountable.
We would much rather hear words of 'shalom.'" |
