SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:14
Tú comerás, y no te hartarás; y tu abatimiento será en medio de ti; tú cogerás, mas no salvarás; y lo que salvares, lo entregaré yo a la espada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 6:14
Verse 14. Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied] All thy possessions are cursed, because of thy sins; and thou hast no real good in all thy enjoyments. And thy casting down] For ûjyw veyeshchacha, "thy casting down," Newcome, by transposing the j and , reads ûjyw veyechshach, "and it shall be dark;" and this is probably the true reading. The Arabic and Septuagint have read the same. "There shall be calamity in the midst of thee." It shall have its seat and throne among you.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied , etc.] Either not having enough to eat, for the refreshing and satisfying of nature; or else a blessing being withheld from food, though eaten, and so not nourishing; or a voracious and insatiable appetite being given as a curse; the first sense seems best: and thy casting down [shall be] in the midst of thee ; meaning they should be humbled and brought down, either by civil discords and wars among themselves, or through the enemy being suffered to come into the midst of their country, and make havoc there; which would be as a sickness and disease in their bowels. So the Targum, “thou shalt have an illness in thy bowels.”
The Syriac version is, “a dysentery shall be in thine intestines;” a secret judgment wasting and destroying them; and thou shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and [that] which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword ; the sense is, that they should take hold of their wives and children, and endeavour to save them from the sword of the enemy, and being carried captive: or should “remove” them f208 , as the word is sometimes used, in order to secure them from them; or should “overtake” f209 ; the enemy, carrying them captive; but should not be able by either of these methods to save them from being destroyed, or carried away by them; and even such as they should preserve or rescue for a while, yet these should be given up to the sword of the enemy, the same or another. Aben Ezra and Kimchi interpret this of their women conceiving, and not bringing forth; and, if they should, yet what they brought forth should be slain by the sword f210 . But the Targum and Jarchi incline to the former sense.
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 __________________________________________________________________
