12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
12 I will destroy your witchcraft and you will no longer cast spells.
12 and I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you shall have no more tellers of fortunes;
12 I'll abolish your religious black markets, your underworld traffic in black magic.
12 I will cut off sorceries from your hand, And you shall have no soothsayers.
12 I will put an end to all witchcraft, and there will be no more fortune-tellers.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 5:12
Commentary on Micah 5:7-15
(Read Micah 5:7-15)
The remnant of Israel, converted to Christ in the primitive times, were among many nations as the drops of dew, and were made instruments in calling a large increase of spiritual worshippers. But to those who neglected or opposed this salvation, they would, as lions, cause terror, their doctrine condemning them. The Lord also declares that he would cause not only the reformation of the Jews, but the purification of the Christian church. In like manner shall we be assured of victory in our personal conflicts, as we simply depend upon the Lord our salvation, worship him, and serve him with diligence.
