Miqueas 3:5-7

5 Así dice el SEÑOR acerca de los profetas que hacen errar a mi pueblo, los cuales cuando tienen algo que morder, proclaman: Paz. Pero contra aquel que no les pone nada en la boca, declaran guerra santa.

6 Por tanto, para vosotros será noche sin visión, y oscuridad sin adivinación. Se pondrá el sol sobre los profetas, y se oscurecerá el día sobre ellos.

7 Los videntes serán avergonzados, y confundidos los adivinos. Todos ellos se cubrirán la boca porque no hay respuesta de Dios.

Miqueas 3:5-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 3

In this chapter the prophet reproves and threatens both princes and prophets, first separately, and then conjunctly; first the heads and princes of the people, civil magistrates, for their ignorance of justice, and hatred of good, and love of evil, and for their oppression and cruelty; and they are threatened with distress when they should cry unto the Lord, and should not be heard by him, Mic 3:1-4; next the prophets are taken to task, for their voraciousness, avarice, and false prophesying; and are threatened with darkness, with want of vision, and of an answer from the Lord, and with shame and confusion, Mic 3:5-7; and the prophet being full of the Spirit and power of God, to declare the sins and transgressions of Jacob and Israel, Mic 3:8, very freely declaims against princes, priests, and prophets, all together; who, though guilty of very notorious crimes, yet were in great security, and promised themselves impunity, Mic 3:9-11; wherefore the city and temple of Jerusalem are threatened with an utter desolation, Mic 3:12.
