Micah 6:12

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

The rich men thereof; i.e. of the city mentioned in Micah 6:9. They have just been charged with injustice and fraud, now they are denounced for practising every kind of violence. And not only the rich, but all the inhabitants fall under censure for lying and deceit.

Their tongue is deceitful; literally, deceit; they cannot open their mouth without speaking dangerous and destructive lies.
