Miquéias 1:9

9 Pois as suas feridas são incuráveis, e o mal chegou até Judá; estendeu-se até a porta do meu povo, até Jerusalém.

Miquéias 1:9 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 1:9

For her wound [is] incurable
Or her "stroke [is] desperate" F5. The ruin of Samaria, and the ten tribes, was inevitable; the decree being gone forth, and they hardened in their sins, and continuing in their impenitence; and their destruction was irrevocable; they were not to be restored again, nor are they to this day; nor will be till the time comes that all Israel shall be saved: or "she is grievously sick of her wounds"; just ready to die, upon the brink of ruin, and no hope of saving her; this is the cause and reason of the above lamentation of the prophet: and what increased his grief and sorrow the more was, for it is come unto Judah;
the calamity has reached the land of Judah; it stopped not with Israel or the ten tribes, but spread itself into the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin; for the Assyrian army, having taken Samaria, and carried Israel captive, in a short time, about seven or eight years, invaded Judea, and took the fenced cities of Judah in Hezekiah's time, in which Micah prophesied; he is come unto the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem;
Sennacherib, king of Assyria, having taken the fenced cities, came up to the very gates of Jerusalem, and besieged it, where the courts of judicature were kept, and the people resorted to, to have justice done them; and Micah, being of the tribe of Judah, calls them his people, and was the more affected with their distress.

Miquéias 1:9 In-Context

7 Todas as suas imagens esculpidas serão despedaçadas, todos os seus salários serão queimados pelo fogo, e de todos os seus ídolos farei uma assolação; porque pelo salário de prostituta os ajuntou, e em salário de prostituta se tornarão.
8 Por isso lamentarei e uivarei, andarei despojado e nu farei lamentação como de chacais, e pranto como de avestruzes.
9 Pois as suas feridas são incuráveis, e o mal chegou até Judá; estendeu-se até a porta do meu povo, até Jerusalém.
10 Não o anuncieis em Gate, em Aco não choreis; em Bete-Le-Afra revolvei-vos no pó.
11 Passa, ó moradora de Safir, em vergonhosa nudez; a moradora de Zaanã não saiu; o pranto de Bete-Ezel tomará de vós a sua morada.
