Micah 1:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Here follows a grand description, in figurative language, of the course of Divine judgment, and of God's awful majesty and resistless power. Out of his place. It is as though the sins of Israel had roused him to action.

God is hidden except when he displays his power in judgment and mercy (see note on Zechariah 14:3). Will come down. An anthropomorphic expression, as Genesis 18:21. The high places. As though descending from heaven, God first came upon the tops of the mountains (see note on Amos 4:13; comp.

Deuteronomy 32:13). The phrase would imply God's absolute sovereignty over the universe.
