Miqueas 3:5-8

Contraste entre el profeta falso y el verdadero

5 Esto es lo que dice el SEÑOR contra ustedes,profetas que descarrían a mi pueblo:«Con el estómago lleno, invitan a la paz;con el vientre vacío, declaran la guerra.

6 Por tanto, tendrán noches sin visiones,oscuridad sin presagios».El sol se ocultará de estos profetas;¡el día se les volverá tinieblas!

7 Los videntes quedarán en vergüenza;los adivinos serán humillados.Dios les tapará la boca,pues no les dará respuesta.

8 Yo, en cambio, estoy lleno de poder,lleno del Espíritu del SEÑOR,y lleno de justicia y de fuerza,para echarle en cara a Jacob su delito;para reprocharle a Israel su pecado.

Miqueas 3:5-8 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.
