MICAH.
Micah ii.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory forever.
Micah vii.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Here the Israelites are rebuked for their cruel treatment of their own people, robbing widows and selling children into slavery. Family life as well as public affairs seems to have become unsettled. The contempt and the violation of the laws of domestic duties are a sad symptom of universal corruption.
