Verse 12 of 12
Commentary
Commentary on Micah 3:12
Theological / DevotionalZion. Originally the name of the Jebusite stronghold (2 Chronicles 5:2; cf. 2 Samuel 5:7), but later applied to the whole eastern ridge, and poetically to the entire city of Jerusalem (see on Psalm 48:2).
Plowed. Figurative of its total destruction. According to Jeremiah 26:17-19 the prophecy was given in the days of Hezekiah. The prediction was literally fulfilled in 586 B.C.
Heaps. Compare Nehemiah 2:17; 4:2; Jeremiah 9:11.
High places. Or, “wooded heights.” The once-thronged height of Moriah would become as desolate as the top of a mountain.
