The Biblical Illustrator - Micah 1:8-9

Micah 1:8-9For her wound is incurable Moral incurablenessSamaria and Jerusalem were, in a material and political sense, in a desperate and hopeless condition.I. Moral incurableness is a condition into which men may fall.1. Mental philosophy shows this. Such is the constitution of the human mind, that the repetition of an act can generate an uncontrollable tendency to repeat it; and the repetition of a sin deadens altogether that moral sensibility which constitutionally recoils from the wrong.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Micah 1:8

Mic 1:8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. Ver. 8. Therefore I will wail and howl ] Good men are usually more deeply affected with the wretched estate of wicked persons than they themselves are. Thus Samuel mourned for Saul’s rejection; Daniel was astonished and troubled at the import of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, Daniel 4:19 ; Habakkuk’s belly trembled, and his lips quivered, at the consideration of... read more

Mic 1:9 For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem. Ver. 9. For her wound is incurable ] Or, she is grievously sick of her wounds; or, her wounds are full of anguish, neither is there any to pour in balm of Gilead, to allay it; any to lick it whole, as the Lady Elinor did her husband Prince Edward’s wound, traitorously given him in the Holy Land, by an assassin, with a poisoned knife. For it is come unto Judah ] viz.... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:2-16

JUDGMENT UPON ISRAEL AND JUDAH, Micah 1:2-16. Micah is impelled by the Divine Spirit to announce the destruction of Samaria and Jerusalem, the capitals of Israel and Judah. The latter may not suffer as soon as the former; nevertheless, escape is impossible. The prophecy opens with a sublime apostrophe to the nations of the earth and a magnificent picture of the approach of Jehovah in judgment (2-4). Samaria will be laid in ruins on account of her sins (5-7). In time the judgment will fall also... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:8-16

Lament over the fall of Judah, 8-16. The sins of the south (Micah 1:5) demand the punishment of Judah. The judgment is already present to the vision of the prophet, and in Micah 1:8-16 he gives expression to his grief over the fall of the southern kingdom. In a series of plays upon their names he pictures in 10-15 the fate awaiting the cities and villages in the south. In 16 he calls upon Zion to mourn, because her children have gone into exile. The speaker in Micah 1:8 is the prophet as an... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 1:9

Micah 1:9 points to the impending ruin of Judah as one of the reasons for the grief and consternation of the prophet. He knows that, if Samaria falls, the enemy will sooner or later attack the south. This fear was seen to be justified when in 702-701 the army of Sennacherib advanced to the very gates of Jerusalem (Isaiah 36:37; compare Isaiah 1:7). Wound More accurately, stripes; the devastation wrought by the enemy. Incurable Nothing can cure the effects of the judgment, or prevent the... read more
