Micah 2:6

"Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly."

Key Reflection

In Micah 2:6, this verse suggests that those who reject God's prophetic messages will not participate in His restored community or benefit from the promised restoration of the land, emphasizing exclusion from divine blessing and fellowship. It highlights the spiritual consequence of rejecting God's word, where such individuals are left out of His gathered assembly and the promise of a renewed earth.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy; they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame -The words are very emphatic in Hebrew, from their briefness, “Prophesy not; they shall indeed prophesy; they shall not prophesy to these; shame shall not depart.” The people, the false prophets, the politicians, forbade God and Micah to prophesy; “Prophesy not.” God, by Micah recites their prohibition to themselves, and forewarns them of the consequences. Prophesy ye not -, literally drop not. Amaziah and the God-opposing party had already given an ungodly meaning to the word .
