He is different from the prophet MICHEAS mentioned\nin the third book of Kings, chap. 22. For that MICHEAS lived in the days\nof king ACHAB, one hundred and fifty years before the time of EZECHIAS,\nunder whom this MICHEAS prophesied.\n\n\nMicheas Chapter 1\n\nSamaria for her sins shall be destroyed by the Assyrians; they shall\nalso invade Juda and Jerusalem.\n\n1:1. The word of the Lord, that came to Micheas, the Morasthite, in the\ndays of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: which he saw\nconcerning Samaria and Jerusalem.\n\n1:2. Hear, all ye people: and let the earth give ear, and all that is\ntherein: and let the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his\nholy temple.\n\n1:3. For behold the Lord will come forth out of his place: and he will\ncome down, and will tread upon the high places of the earth.\n\n1:4. And the mountains shall be melted under him: and the valleys shall\nbe cleft, as wax before the fire, and as waters that run down a steep\nplace.\n\n1:5. For the wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the\nhouse of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and\nwhat are the high places of Juda? are they not Jerusalem?\n\n1:6. And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a\nvineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the\nvalley, and will lay her foundations bare.\n\n1:7. And all her graven things shall be cut in pieces, and all her wages\nshall be burnt with fire, and I will bring to destruction all her idols:\nfor they were gathered together of the hire of a harlot, and unto the\nhire of a harlot they shall return.\n\nHer wages... That is, her donaries or presents offered to her idols: or\nthe hire of all her traffic and labour. Ibid. Of the hire of a harlot,\netc... They were gathered together by one idolatrous city, viz.,\nSamaria: and they shall be carried away to another idolatrous city,\nviz., Ninive.\n\n1:8. Therefore will I lament, and howl: I will go stript and naked: I\nwill make a wailing like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.\n\n1:9. Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it\nhath touched the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.\n\nIt hath touched the gate, etc... That is, the destruction of Samaria\nshall be followed by the invasion of my people of Juda, and the\nAssyrians shall come and lay all waste even to the confines of\nJerusalem.\n\n1:10. Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ye not with tears: in the house of\nDust sprinkle yourselves with dust.\n\nDeclare ye it not in Geth... Viz., amongst the Philistines, lest they\nrejoice at your calamity.-Ibid. Weep ye not, etc... Keep in your tears,\nthat you may not give your enemies an occasion of insulting over you;\nbut in your own houses, or in your house of dust, your earthly\nhabitation, sprinkle yourselves with dust, and put on the habit of\npenitents. Some take the house of dust (in Hebrew, Aphrah) to be the\nproper name of a city.\n\n1:11. And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the beautiful place,\ncovered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the\nconfines: the house adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which\nstood by herself.\n\nThou that dwellest in the Beautiful place, viz., in Samaria. In the\nHebrew the Beautiful place is expressed by the word Sapir, which some\ntake for the proper name of a city.--Ibid. She went not forth, etc...\nthat is, they that dwelt in the confines came not forth, but kept\nthemselves within, for fear.--Ibid. The house adjoining,etc... Viz.,\nJudea and Jerusalem, neighbours to Samaria, and partners in her sins,\nshall share also in her mourning and calamity; though they have\npretended to stand by themselves, trusting in their strength.\n\n1:12. For she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for\nevil is come down from the Lord into the gate of Jerusalem.\n\nShe is become weak, etc... Jerusalem is become weak unto any good;\nbecause she dwells in the bitterness of sin.\n\n1:13. A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it\nis the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion for in thee were found\nthe crimes of Israel.\n\nIt is the beginning, etc... That is, Lachis was the first city of Juda\nthat learned from Samaria the worship of idols, and communicated it to\nJerusalem.\n\n1:14. Therefore shall she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth:\nthe houses of lying to deceive the kings of Israel.\n\nTherefore shall she send, etc... Lachis shall send to Geth for help: but\nin vain: for Geth, instead of helping, shall be found to be a house of\nlying and deceit to Israel.\n\n1:15. Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to\nOdollam shall the glory of Israel come.\n\nAn heir, etc... Maresa (which was the name of a city of Juda) signifies\ninheritance: but here God by his prophet tells the Jews, that he will\nbring them an heir to take possession of their inheritance: and that the\nglory of Israel shall be obliged to give place, and to retire even to\nOdollam, a city in the extremity of their dominions. And therefore he\nexhorts them to penance in the following verse.\n\n1:16. Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge\nthy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from\nthee.\n\nMicheas Chapter 2\n\nThe Israelites by their crying injustices provoke God to punish them. He\nshall at last restore Jacob.\n\n2:1. Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in\nyour beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is\nagainst God.\n\n2:2. And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and\nhouses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house,\na man and his inheritance.\n\n2:3. Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I devise an evil against this\nfamily: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not\nwalk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.\n\n2:4. In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall\nbe sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the\nportion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he\nis returning that will divide our land?\n\nHow shall he depart, etc... How do you pretend to say that the Assyrian\nis departing; when indeed he is coming to divide our lands amongst his\nsubjects?\n\n2:5. Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in\nthe assembly of the Lord.\n\nThou shalt have none, etc... Thou shalt have no longer any lot or\ninheritance in the land of the people of the Lord.\n\n2:6. Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall\nnot take them.\n\nIt shall not drop, etc... That is, the prophecy shall not come upon\nthese. Such were the sentiments of the people that were unwilling to\nbelieve the threats of the prophets.\n\n2:7. The house of Jacob saith: Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened or\nare these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh\nuprightly?\n\n2:8. But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have\ntaken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless\nyou have turned to war.\n\nYou have taken away, etc... You have even stripped people of their\nnecessary garments: and have treated such as were innocently passing on\nthe way, as if they were at war with you.\n\n2:9. You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in\nwhich they took delight: you have taken my praise forever from their\nchildren.\n\nYou have cast out, etc... either by depriving them of their houses: or,\nby your crimes, given occasion to their being carried away captives, and\ntheir children, by that means, never learning to praise the Lord.\n\n2:10. Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that\nuncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous\ncorruption.\n\n2:11. Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather\nspoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkeness: and it\nshall be this people upon whom it shall drop.\n\nWould God, etc... The prophet could have wished, out of his love to his\npeople, that he might be deceived in denouncing to them these evils that\nwere to fall upon them: but by conforming himself to the will of God, he\ndeclares to them, that he is sent to prophesy, literally to let drop\nupon them, the wine of God's indignation, with which they should be made\ndrunk; that is, stupified and cast down.\n\n2:12. I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will\nbring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a\nflock in the fold, as sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall\nmake a tumult by reason of the multitude of men.\n\n2:13. For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall\ndivide and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their\nking shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.\n\nMicheas Chapter 3\n\nFor the sins of the rich oppressing the poor, of false prophets\nflattering for lucre, and of judges perverting justice, Jerusalem and\nthe temple shall be destroyed.\n\n3:1. And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house\nof Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,\n\n3:2. You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their\nskins from them and their flesh from their bones?\n\n3:3. Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin\noff them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle,\nand as flesh in the midst of the pot.\n\n3:4. Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he\nwill hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly\nin their devices.\n\n3:5. Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people\nerr: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not\nsomething into their mouth, they prepare war against him.\n\n3:6. Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to\nyou instead of divination: and the sun shall go down upon the prophets,\nand the day shall be darkened over them.\n\n3:7. And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners\nshall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there\nis no answer of God.\n\n3:8. But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord,\nwith judgment and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness and to\nIsrael his sin.\n\n3:9. Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the\nhouse of Israel: you that abhor judgment and pervert all that is right.\n\n3:10. You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.\n\n3:11. Her princes have judged for bribes: and her priests have taught\nfor hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the\nLord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come\namong us.\n\n3:12. Therefore because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and\nJerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple\nas the high places of the forests.\n\nMicheas Chapter 4\n\nThe glory of the church of Christ, by the conversion of the Gentiles.\nThe Jews shall be carried captives to Babylon, and be delivered again.\n\n4:1. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of\nthe house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of the mountains, and\nhigh above the hills: and people shall flow to it.\n\n4:2. And many nations shall come in haste, and say: Come, let us go up\nto the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob: and\nhe will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law\nshall go forth out of Sion, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.\n\n4:3. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations\nafar off: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their\nspears into spades: nation shall not take sword against nation: neither\nshall they learn war anymore.\n\nNeither shall they learn, etc... The law of Christ is a law of peace;\nand all his true subjects, as much as lies in them love and keep peace\nwith all the world.\n\n4:4. And every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree, and\nthere shall be none to make them afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of\nhosts hath spoken.\n\n4:5. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god: but we\nwill walk in the name of the Lord, our God, for ever and ever.\n\n4:6. In that day, saith the Lord, I will gather up her that halteth: and\nher that I had cast out, I will gather up: and her whom I had afflicted.\n\n4:7. And I will make her that halted, a remnant: and her that had been\nafflicted, a mighty nation: and the Lord will reign over them in Mount\nSion, from this time now and forever.\n\n4:8. And thou, O cloudy tower of the flock, of the daughter of Sion,\nunto thee shall it come: yea the first power shall come, the kingdom to\nthe daughter of Jerusalem.\n\n4:9. Now, why art thou drawn together with grief? Hast thou no king in\nthee, or is thy counselor perished, because sorrow hath taken thee as a\nwoman in labour.\n\n4:10. Be in pain and labour, O daughter of Sion, as a woman that\nbringeth forth: for now shalt thou go out of the city, and shalt dwell\nin the country, and shalt come even to Babylon, there thou shalt be\ndelivered: there the Lord will redeem thee out of the hand of thy\nenemies.\n\n4:11. And now many nations are gathered together against thee, and they\nsay: Let her be stoned: and let our eye look upon Sion.\n\n4:12. But they have not known the thoughts of the Lord, and have not\nunderstood his counsel: because he hath gathered them together as the\nhay of the floor.\n\n4:13. Arise, and tread, O daughter of Sion: for I will make thy horn\niron, and thy hoofs I will make brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces\nmany peoples, and shalt immolate the spoils of them to the Lord, and\ntheir strength to the Lord of the whole earth.\n\nMicheas Chapter 5\n\nThe birth of Christ in Bethlehem: his reign and spiritual conquests.\n\n5:1. Now shalt thou be laid waste, O daughter of the robber: they have\nlaid siege against us, with a rod shall they strike the cheek of the\njudge of Israel.\n\nDaughter of the robber... Some understand this of Babylon; which robbed\nand pillaged the temple of God: others understand it of Jerusalem; by\nreason of the many rapines and oppressions committed there.\n\n5:2. And thou Bethlehem Ephrata, art a little one among the thousands of\nJuda, out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be the ruler in\nIsrael: and his going forth is from the beginning, from the days of\neternity.\n\nHis going forth, etc... That is, he who as man shall be born in thee, as\nGod was born of his Father from all eternity.\n\n5:3. Therefore will he give them up even till the time wherein she that\ntravaileth shall bring forth: and the remnant of his brethren shall be\nconverted to the children of Israel.\n\n5:4. And he shall stand, and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the\nheight of the name of the Lord, his God: and they shall be converted,\nfor now shall he be magnified even to the ends of the earth.\n\n5:5. And this man shall be our peace, when the Assyrian shall come into\nour land, and when he shall set his foot in our houses: and we shall\nraise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.\n\nThe Assyrian... That is, the persecutors of the church: who are here\ncalled Assyrians by the prophet: because the Assyrians were at that time\nthe chief enemies and persecutors of the people of God.-Ibid. Seven\nshepherds, etc... Viz., the pastors of God's church, and the defenders\nof the faith. The number seven in scripture is taken to signify many:\nand when eight is joined with it, we are to understand that the number\nwill be very great.\n\n5:6. And they shall feed the land of Assyria with the sword, and the\nland of Nemrod with the spears thereof: and he shall deliver us from the\nAssyrian when he shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in\nour borders.\n\nThey shall feed, etc... They shall make spiritual conquests in the lands\nof their persecutors, with the word of the spirit, which is the word of\nGod. Eph. 6.17.\n\n5:7. And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, as\na dew from the Lord, and as drops upon the grass, which waiteth not for\nman, nor tarrieth for the children of men.\n\nThe remnant of Jacob... Viz., the apostles, and the first preachers of\nthe Jewish nation; whose doctrine, like dew, shall make the plants of\nthe converted Gentiles grow up, without waiting for any man to cultivate\nthem by human learning.\n\n5:8. And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, in the midst\nof many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forests, and as a\nyoung lion among the flocks of sheep: who, when he shall go through, and\ntread down, and take there is none to deliver.\n\nAs a lion, etc... This denotes the fortitude of these first preachers;\nand their success in their spiritual enterprises.\n\n5:9. Thy hand shall be lifted up over thy enemies, and all thy enemies\nshall be cut off.\n\n5:10. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will\ntake away thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy\nchariots.\n\nI will take away thy horses, etc... Some understand this, and all that\nfollows to the end of the chapter, as addressed to the enemies of the\nchurch. But it may as well be understood of the converts to the church:\nwho should no longer put their trust in any of these things.\n\n5:11. And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will throw down all\nthy strong holds, and I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and\nthere shall be no divinations in thee.\n\n5:12. And I will destroy thy graven things, and thy statues, out of the\nmidst of thee: and thou shalt no more adore the works of thy hands.\n\n5:13. And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: and will\ncrush thy cities.\n\n5:14. And I will execute vengeance in wrath, and in indignation, among\nall the nations that have not given ear.\n\nMicheas Chapter 6\n\nGod expostulates with the Jews for their ingratitude and sins: for which\nthey shall be punished.\n\n6:1. Hear ye what the Lord saith: Arise, contend thou in judgment\nagainst the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.\n\nThe mountains, etc... That is, the great ones, the princes of the\npeople.\n\n6:2. Let the mountains hear the judgment of the Lord, and the strong\nfoundations of the earth: for the Lord will enter into judgment with his\npeople, and he will plead against Israel.\n\n6:3. O my people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I molested\nthee? answer thou me.\n\n6:4. For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and delivered thee\nout of the house of slaves: and I sent before thy face Moses, and Aaron,\nand Mary.\n\n6:5. O my people, remember, I pray thee, what Balach, the king of Moab,\npurposed: and what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him, from Setim to\nGalgal, that thou mightest know the justice of the Lord.\n\nFrom Setim to Galgal... He puts them in mind of the favour he did them,\nin not suffering them to be quite destroyed by the evil purpose of\nBalach, and the wicked counsel of Balaam: and then gives them a hint of\nthe wonders he wrought, in order to bring them into the land of Promise,\nby stopping the course of the Jordan, in their march from Setim to\nGalgal.\n\n6:6. What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? wherewith shall I\nkneel before the high God? shall I offer holocausts unto him, and calves\nof a year old?\n\nWhat shall I offer, etc... This is spoken in the person of the people,\ndesiring to be informed what they are to do to please God.\n\n6:7. May the Lord be appeased with thousands of rams, or with many\nthousands of fat he goats? shall I give my firstborn for my wickedness,\nthe fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?\n\n6:8. I will shew thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth\nof thee: Verily to do judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk\nsolicitous with thy God.\n\n6:9. The voice of the Lord crieth to the city, and salvation shall be to\nthem that fear thy name: hear O ye tribes, and who shall approve it?\n\n6:10. As yet there is a fire in the house of the wicked, the treasures\nof iniquity, and a scant measure full of wrath.\n\nFull of wrath, etc... That is, highly provoking in the sight of God.\n\n6:11. Shall I justify wicked balances, and the deceitful weights of the\nbag?\n\n6:12. By which her rich men were filled with iniquity, and the\ninhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue was deceitful in\ntheir mouth.\n\n6:13. And I therefore began to strike thee with desolation for thy sins.\n\n6:14. Thou shalt eat, but shalt not be filled: and thy humiliation shall\nbe in the midst of thee: and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not save:\nand those whom thou shalt save, I will give up to the sword.\n\n6:15. Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap: thou shalt tread the olives,\nbut shalt not be anointed with oil: and the new wine, but shalt not\ndrink the wine.\n\n6:16. For thou hast kept the statutes of Amri, and all the works of the\nhouse of Achab: and thou hast walked according their wills, that I\nshould make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing,\nand you shall bear the reproach of my people.\n\nThe statutes of Amri, etc... The wicked ways of Amri and Achab,\nidolatrous kings.\n\nMicheas Chapter 7\n\nThe prophet laments, that notwithstanding all his preaching, the\ngenerality are still corrupt in their manners: therefore their\ndesolation is at hand: but they shall be restored again and prosper; and\nall mankind shall be redeemed by Christ.\n\n7:1. Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the\ngrapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the\nfirst ripe figs.\n\n7:2. The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none\nupright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his\nbrother to death.\n\n7:3. The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and\nthe judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of\nhis soul, and they have troubled it.\n\n7:4. He that is best among them, is as a brier, and he that is\nrighteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy\nvisitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.\n\n7:5. Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of\nthy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.\n\n7:6. For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up\nagainst her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a\nman's enemies are they of his own household.\n\n7:7. But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God, my saviour:\nmy God will hear me.\n\n7:8. Rejoice not, thou my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall\narise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.\n\n7:9. I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against\nhim: until he judge my cause, and execute judgement for me: he will\nbring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.\n\n7:10. And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame,\nwho saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? my eyes shall look down upon\nher: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.\n\nShe shall be covered, etc... Viz., Babylon my enemy.\n\n7:11. The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day\nshall the law be far removed.\n\nThe law... Viz., of thy enemies, who have tyrannized over thee.\n\n7:12. In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the\nfortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and\nfrom sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.\n\n7:13. And the land shall be made desolate because of the inhabitants\nthereof, and for the fruit of their devices.\n\nThe land, etc... Viz., of Babylon.\n\n7:14. Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them\nthat dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed\nin Basan and Galaad, according to the days of old.\n\n7:15. According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt, I\nwill shew him wonders.\n\n7:16. The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their\nstrength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be\ndeaf.\n\n7:17. They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of\nthe earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the\nLord, our God, and shall fear thee.\n\n7:18. Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest\nby the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in\nno more, because he delighteth in mercy.\n\n7:19. He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our\niniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.\n\n7:20. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which\nthou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 38: Micheas: The Challoner Revision","tradition":"scripture-revelation","translated_text":null,"word_count":4741}
