SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:10
¿Hay aún en casa del impío tesoros de impiedad, y medida escasa que es detestable?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 6:10
Verse 10. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness] Such as false balances and deceitful weights. See on Hos. xii. 7. This shows that they were not DOING JUSTLY. They did not give to each his due.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness the house of the wicked ? etc.] There are; they continue there. This is the voice of the Lord by the prophet, and the language of the rod of correction to be heard, exposing the sins of the people, for which the Lord had a controversy with them; particularly their mammon of unrighteousness, the vast wealth, riches, and treasures, collected together by very wicked and unlawful ways and means; and which, instead of restoring them to the persons they had defrauded of them, they retained them in their houses, notwithstanding the reproofs of the prophets, and the corrections of the Almighty. Some render it, “is there not fire?” etc. f203 ; that is, in the house of the wicked, because of the treasures of wickedness, that which consumes them; but Gussetius f204 interprets it of fornications and adulteries. Others render it, “is there yet a man?” etc. f205 ; an honourable man, as Aben Ezra, who continues in his iniquity, after the Lord’s voice cries to the city; but Abendana interprets it of the prophet himself, continuing to reprove the wicked for their treasures of wickedness, and their other sins; and the scant measure [that is] abominable ? or “the ephah of leanness provoking to wrath” f206 ; that is, a deficient measure, less than it should be; the “ephah” was a dry measure, and it was made small, as in ( Amos 8:5); and held less than it should; and this brought leanness and poverty upon those to whom they sold by it, as well as ruin upon themselves in the issue; for such practices as they were abominable and detestable to God; they stirred up his wrath, and brought destruction on those that used them. The Targum is, “false measures that bring a curse.”
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-16 - God, having showed how necessary it was that they should do justly here shows how plain it was that they had done unjustly. This voice of the Lord says to all, Hear the rod when it is coming, before you se it, and feel it. Hear the rod when it is come, and you are sensible of the smart; hear what counsels, what cautions it speaks. The voice of God is to be heard in the rod of God. Those who are dishonest in their dealings shall never be reckoned pure, whatever shows of devotion the may make. What is got by fraud and oppression, cannot be kept of enjoyed with satisfaction. What we hold closest we commonly los soonest. Sin is a root of bitterness, soon planted, but not soo plucked up again. Their being the people of God in name and profession while they kept themselves in his love, was an honour to them; but now being backsliders, their having been once the people of God turns to their reproach __________________________________________________________________
