Micah 3:5

"Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the consequence of persistent wickedness; when people choose evil, God withdraws His presence and response, leaving them in darkness and despair. Their cries for help go unanswered as a judgment for their actions, symbolizing the separation that results from moral corruption.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The prophets that make My people err -Flattering them in their sins and rebellions, promising that they shall go unpunished, that God is not so strict, will not put in force the judgments tie threatens. So Isaiah saithIsaiah 3:12; O my? people, they which lead thee, mislead thee; and (Isaiah 9:16, (Isaiah 9:15in Hebrew)), the leaders of this people are its misleaders, and they that are led of them are destroyed. And Jeremiah, “The prophets have seen for thee vanity and folly; and they have not discovered thine iniquity to turn away thy captivity, and have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment”Lamentations 2:14. No error is hopeless, save what is taught in the Name of God.
