Commentary

Commentary on Micah 6:14

Theological / Devotional

Eat. See Leviticus 26:26; Hosea 4:10; Haggai 1:6.

Casting down. Hebrew yeshach, a word occurring only here and whose meaning is obscure. Hebrew parallelism suggests the possible meaning, “emptiness,” or “hunger” (see RSV).

Take hold. Hebrew sug, here probably used in the sense of “remove.” The people would vainly seek to save their valuables by carrying them away.
