Jamieson Fausset Brown Commentary - Micah 1:9 - 1:9


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

wound ... incurable - Her case, politically and morally, is desperate (Jer 8:22).

it is come - the wound, or impending calamity (compare Isa 10:28).

he is come ... even to Jerusalem - The evil is no longer limited to Israel. The prophet foresees Sennacherib coming even “to the gate” of the principal city. The use of “it” and “he” is appropriately distinct. “It,” the calamity, “came unto” Judah, many of the inhabitants of which suffered, but did not reach the citizens of Jerusalem, “the gate” of which the foe (“he”) “came unto,” but did not enter (Isa 36:1;Isa 37:33-37).
