Miquéias 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 6:13

Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee
With the rod to be heard, ( Micah 6:9 ) ; by sending among them some of his sore judgments, as famine, pestilence, the sword of the enemy, internal wars, and the like; which should cause their kingdom, and state, and families, to decline and waste away, as a sickly and diseased body. So the Targum,

``and I brought upon thee illness and a stroke.''

The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it, "and I began to smite thee"; as by Hazael, king of Syria, and Tiglathpileser, king of Assyria, who had carried part of them captive; in making [thee] desolate because of thy sins;
went on, not only to make them sick, and bring them into a declining state, but into utter desolation; as by Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, who carried Israel captive; and by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who led Judah captive, because of their sins of idolatry, injustice, and oppression, with others that abounded among them.

Miquéias 6:13 In-Context

11 Justificerei ao que tem balanças falsas, e uma bolsa de pesos enganosos?

12 Pois os ricos da cidade estão cheios de violência, e os seus habitantes falam mentiras, e a lingua deles é enganosa na sua boca.

13 Assim eu tambem te enfraquecerei, ferindo-te e assolando-te, por causa dos teus pecados.

14 Tu comerás, mas não te fartarás; e a tua fome estará sempre contigo; removerás os teus bens, mas nada livrarás; e aquilo que livrares, eu o entregarei � espada.

15 Tu semearás, mas não segarás; pisarás a azeitona, mas não te ungirás de azeite; e pisarás a vindima, mas não beberás o vinho.
