Michée 2:6-11

6 Ne prophétisez pas! disent-ils; s'ils ne prophétisent pas à ceux-ci, la confusion ne s'éloignera pas.

7 Toi qui es appelée la maison de Jacob, l'Esprit de l'Éternel est-il prompt à s'irriter? Sont-ce là ses actions? Mes paroles ne sont-elles pas bonnes avec celui qui marche droitement?

8 Mais dès longtemps mon peuple se lève en ennemi. Vous enlevez le manteau de dessus la robe à ceux qui passent en assurance, en revenant de la guerre.

9 Vous chassez les femmes de mon peuple de leurs maisons chéries; vous ôtez pour toujours ma gloire de dessus leurs enfants.

10 Levez-vous et marchez! Car ce n'est point ici le lieu du repos; à cause de la souillure qui amène la destruction, une destruction violente.

11 Si un homme court après le vent et débite des mensonges, disant: "Je te prophétiserai sur le vin et sur les boissons enivrantes", ce sera le prophète de ce peuple!

Michée 2:6-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 2

In this chapter complaint is made of the sins of the people of Israel, and they are threatened with punishment for them. The sins they are charged with are covetousness, oppression, and injustice, which were premeditated, and done deliberately, Mic 2:1,2; therefore the Lord devised evil against them, they should not escape; and which would bring down their pride, and cause them to take up a lamentation, because they should not enjoy the portion of land that belonged to them, Mic 2:3-5; they are further charged with opposing the prophets of the Lord, the folly and wickedness of which is exposed, Mic 2:6,7; and with great inhumanity and barbarity, even to women and children, Mic 2:8,9; and therefore are ordered to expect and prepare for a removal out of their land, Mic 2:10; and the rather, since they gave encouragement and heed to false prophets, and delighted in them, Mic 2:11; and the chapter is concluded with words of comfort to the remnant among them, and with precious promises of the Messiah, and the blessings of grace by him, Mic 2:12,13.
