Commentary

Commentary on Micah 7:3

Theological / Devotional

With both hands. The Hebrew of the opening clause is obscure. The Septuagint reads, “They prepare their hands for mischief.”

A reward. Bribery, an ancient vice, is here condemned (see Isaiah 1:23).

They wrap it up. The Hebrew of the clause thus translated is obscure. The verb occurs only here and the meaning is therefore uncertain.
