Miqueas 2:9

9 Desalojaron a las mujeres de sus cómodos hogares
y despojaron a sus hijos para siempre de todo lo que Dios les hubiera dado.

Miqueas 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 2:9

The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant
houses
Not content to slay their husbands, they took their wives or widows captive, dispossessed them of their habitations, where they had lived delightfully with their husbands and children; so we find that, at the time before referred to, the people of Israel carried captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, and brought them to Samaria, ( 2 Chronicles 28:8 ) . Some understand this of divorce, which those men were the cause of, either by committing adultery with them, which was a just reason for their husband's divorcing them; or by frequenting their houses, which caused suspicion and jealousy: from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever;
that which God would have had glory from, and they would have given it to him on account of; as their being brought up in a religious way; their liberties, both civil and religious; their paternal estates and inheritances, and the enjoyment of their own land; and especially the worship of God in the temple, of which they were deprived by being carried away from their own country: or it may be understood of the glory that accrues to God by honourable marriage, and the bed undefiled; and the dishonour cast upon him by the contrary, as well as upon children, who may be suspected to be illegitimate.

Miqueas 2:9 In-Context

7 ¿Debes hablar de esa manera, oh familia de Israel?
¿Tendrá paciencia el Espíritu del Señor
con semejante comportamiento?
Si ustedes hicieran lo correcto,
encontrarían consuelo en mis palabras.

8 Sin embargo, hasta este mismo instante
mi pueblo se rebela contra mí, ¡como un enemigo!
Les roban hasta la camisa
a los que confiaban en ustedes
y los dejan tan andrajosos como hombres
que regresan de la guerra.

9 Desalojaron a las mujeres de sus cómodos hogares
y despojaron a sus hijos para siempre de todo lo que Dios les hubiera dado.

10 ¡Levántense! ¡Fuera!
Esta ya no es su tierra ni su hogar,
porque la llenaron de pecado
y la arruinaron por completo.

11 Supongamos que un profeta lleno de mentiras les dice:
«¡Les predicaré las delicias del vino y del alcohol!».
¡Esa es la clase de profeta que a ustedes les gustaría!
