Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Micah 2:6

6. Prophesy ye not, say they —namely, the Israelites say to the true prophets, when announcing unwelcome truths. Therefore God judicially abandons them to their own ways: "The prophets, by whose ministry they might have been saved from shame (ignominious captivity), shall not (that is, no longer) prophesy to them" ( Isaiah 30:10 ; Amos 2:12 ; Amos 7:16 ). MAURER translates the latter clause, "they shall not prophesy of such things " (as in Micah 2:3-5 , these being rebellious Israel's words); "let them not prophesy"; "they never cease from insult" (from prophesying insults to us). English Version is supported by the parallelism: wherein the similarity of sound and word implies how exactly God makes their punishment answer to their sin, and takes them at their own word. "Prophesy," literally, "drop" ( Deuteronomy 32:2 ; Ezekiel 21:2 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
