Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Micah 2:10
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
10. Arise ye, and depart —not an exhortation to the children of God to depart out of an ungodly world, as it is often applied; though that sentiment is a scriptural one. This world is doubtless not our "rest," being "polluted" with sin: it is our passage, not our portion; our aim, not our home ( 2 Corinthians 6:17 ; Hebrews 13:14 ). The imperatives express the certainty of the future event predicted. "Since such are your doings (compare Micah 2:7 ; Micah 2:8 , c.), My sentence on you is irrevocable ( Micah 2:4 Micah 2:5 ), however distasteful to you ( Micah 2:5- : ); ye who have cast out others from their homes and possessions ( Micah 2:2 ; Micah 2:8 ; Micah 2:9 ) must arise, depart, and be cast out of your own ( Micah 2:4 ; Micah 2:5 ): for this is not your rest " ( Numbers 10:33 ; Deuteronomy 12:9 ; Psalms 95:11 ). Canaan was designed to be a rest to them after their wilderness fatigues. But it is to be so no longer. Thus God refutes the people's self-confidence, as if God were bound to them inseparably. The promise ( Psalms 95:11- : ) is quite consistent with temporary withdrawal of God from Israel for their sins. it shall destroy you — The land shall spew you out, because of the defilements wherewith ye "polluted" it ( Leviticus 18:25 ; Leviticus 18:28 ; Jeremiah 3:2 ; Ezekiel 36:12-14 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
