Micah 2:10

2:10 But you are the ones who will be forced to leave! ¹ 

For this land is not secure! ² 

Sin will thoroughly destroy it! ³ 

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “Arise and go!” These imperatives are rhetorical. Those who wrongly drove widows and orphans from their homes and land inheritances will themselves be driven out of the land (cf. Isa 5:8-17). This is an example of poetic justice.

[2:10]  ² tn Heb “for this is no resting place.” The Lord speaks to the oppressors.

[2:10]  ³ tn Heb “uncleanness will destroy, and destruction will be severe.”
