220. Internal Meaning of Micah, Chapter 6

Against the Jewish nation. (2)

1-4 The Lord offered every good to them. (2)

5 He protected them. (2)

6-8 The Lord is not approached by externals of worship, but by internals, which are of truth and good. (2)

9 The life of truth and good should be loved, (2)

10-11 and not the life of falsity and evil. (2)

12 There is falsification of truth with them. (2, 3)

13 They could not be brought back by punishments; (2)

14-16 therefore it must needs be that this church, having been overthrown, should perish. (2)
