Michea 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.

Michea 6:13 In-Context

11 Sarei io puro se tollerassi bilance false e il sacchetto dai pesi frodolenti?
12 Poiché i ricchi della città son pieni di violenza, i suoi abitanti proferiscono menzogne, e la loro lingua non è che frode nella loro bocca.
13 Perciò anch’io ti colpirò, e ti produrrò gravi ferite, ti desolerò a motivo de’ tuoi peccati.
14 Tu mangerai, ma non sarai saziato, e l’inanizione rimarrà dentro di te; porterai via, ma non salverai, e ciò che avrai salvato, lo darò in balìa della spada.
15 Tu seminerai, ma non mieterai; pigerai le ulive, ma non t’ungerai d’olio; spremerai il mosto, ma non berrai il vino.
