Micah 6:1-2

6:1

Lord <03068> [ye.]

Get up <06965> [Arise.]

The manner of raising attention, says Abp. Newcome, in ver. 1, 2, by calling a man to urge his plea in the face of all nature, and on the inanimate creation to hear the expostulation of Jehovah with his people, is truly awakening and magnificent. The words of Jehovah follow in ver. 3-5; and God's mercies having been set before the people, one of them is introduced in a beautiful manner, asking what his duty is towards so gracious a God, ver. 6, 7. The answer follows in the words of the prophet, ver. 8.

Defend <07378> [contend.]

mountains <02022> [before. or, with.]

hills <01389> [let.]

6:2

foundations <04146> [foundations.]

accusation ............... case <07379> [a controversy.]
