9 You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children forever.
9 The women
9 The women of my people you drive out from their delightful houses; from their young children you take away my splendor forever.
9 You drive the women of my people out of their ample homes. You make victims of the children and leave them vulnerable to violence and vice.
9 The women of My people you cast out From their pleasant houses; From their children You have taken away My glory forever.
9 You have evicted women from their pleasant homes and forever stripped their children of all that God would give them.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 2:9
Commentary on Micah 2:6-11
(Read Micah 2:6-11)
Since they say, "Prophesy not," God will take them at their word, and their sin shall be their punishment. Let the physician no longer attend the patient that will not be healed. Those are enemies, not only to God, but to their country, who silence good ministers, and stop the means of grace. What bonds will hold those who have no reverence for God's word? Sinners cannot expect to rest in a land they have polluted. You shall not only be obliged to depart out of this land, but it shall destroy you. Apply this to our state in this present world. There is corruption in the world through lust, and we should keep at a distance from it. It is not our rest: it was designed for our passage, but not for our portion; our inn, but not our home; here we have no continuing city; let us therefore arise and depart, let us seek a continuing city above. Since they will be deceived, let them be deceived. Teachers who recommend self-indulgence by their doctrine and example, best suit such sinners.
