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)

Micah 6:14-16

Study

      

14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.

15 You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't drink the wine.

16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and her inhabitants a hissing; And you will bear the reproach of my people."
