Micah 3:4

Micah 3:4

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

The merciless shall not obtain mercy. Then, when the day of chastisement has come, "the day of the Lord," of which, perhaps, the prophet spoke more fully when he originally delivered this address. He will not hear them.

A just retribution on those who refused to hearken to the cry of the poor and needy (comp. ; ; ; ). As they have behaved themselves ill in their doings; according as they have made their actions evil, or because they have, etc.

; ἀνθ ὦν.
