Miqueas 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.

Miqueas 6:13 In-Context

11 ¿Cómo podré tolerar a tus mercaderes
que usan balanzas y pesas adulteradas?

12 Los ricos entre ustedes llegaron a tener mucho dinero
mediante la extorsión y la violencia.
Tus habitantes están tan acostumbrados a mentir,
que su lengua ya no puede decir la verdad.

13 »¡Por lo tanto, yo te heriré!
Te dejaré en la ruina a causa de todos tus pecados.

14 Comerás pero no quedarás satisfecho.
Las punzadas de hambre y el vacío de tu estómago no cesarán.
Aunque intentes ahorrar dinero,
al final no te quedará nada.
Guardarás un poco,
pero se lo daré a tus conquistadores.

15 Sembrarás
pero no cosecharás.
Prensarás tus aceitunas
pero no obtendrás aceite suficiente para ungirte.
Pisarás las uvas
pero no conseguirás sacarles jugo para hacer vino.
