Micah 2

Here the prophet denounces a wo against the plotters of wickedness, the covetous and the oppressor, Micah 2:1 , Micah 2:2 . God is represented as devising their ruin, Micah 2:3 . An Israelite is then introduced as a mourner, personating his people, and lamenting their fate, Micah 2:4 . Their total expulsion is now threatened on account of their very numerous offenses, Micah 2:5-10 . Great infatuation of the people in favor of those pretenders to Divine inspiration who prophesied to them peace and plenty, Micah 2:11 . The chapter concludes with a gracious promise of the restoration of the posterity of Jacob from captivity; possibly alluding to their deliverance from the Chaldean yoke, an event which was about two hundred years in futurity at the delivery of this prophecy, Micah 2:12 , Micah 2:13 .
