SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:9
A las mujeres de mi pueblo echasteis fuera de las casas de sus delicias; a sus niños quitasteis mi perpetua alabanza.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 2:9
Verse 9. The women of any people] Ye are the cause of the women and their children being carried into captivity- separated from their pleasant habitations, and from my temple and ordinances-and from the blessings of the covenant, which it is my glory to give, and theirs to receive. These two verses may probably relate to the war made on Ahaz by Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, king of Israel. They fell suddenly upon the Jews; killed in one day one hundred and twenty thousand, and took two hundred thousand captive; and carried away much spoil. Thus, they rose up against them as enemies, when there was peace between the two kingdoms; spoiled them of their goods, carried away men, women, and children, till, at the remonstrances of the prophet Oded, they were released. See 2 Chron. xxviii. 6, &c. Micah lived in the days of Ahaz, and might have seen the barbarities which he here describes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses , etc.] Not content to slay their husbands, they took their wives or widows captive, dispossessed them of their habitations, where they had lived delightfully with their husbands and children; so we find that, at the time before referred to, the people of Israel carried captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, and brought them to Samaria, ( Chronicles 28:8). Some understand this of divorce, which those men were the cause of, either by committing adultery with them, which was a just reason for their husband’s divorcing them; or by frequenting their houses, which caused suspicion and jealousy: from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever ; that which God would have had glory from, and they would have given it to him on account of; as their being brought up in a religious way; their liberties, both civil and religious; their paternal estates and inheritances, and the enjoyment of their own land; and especially the worship of God in the temple, of which they were deprived by being carried away from their own country: or it may be understood of the glory that accrues to God by honourable marriage, and the bed undefiled; and the dishonour cast upon him by the contrary, as well as upon children, who may be suspected to be illegitimate.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - Since they say, "Prophesy not," God will take them at their word, an their sin shall be their punishment. Let the physician no longer atten the patient that will not be healed. Those are enemies, not only to God, but to their country, who silence good ministers, and stop the means of grace. What bonds will hold those who have no reverence for God's word? Sinners cannot expect to rest in a land they have polluted You shall not only be obliged to depart out of this land, but it shal destroy you. Apply this to our state in this present world. There is corruption in the world through lust, and we should keep at a distanc from it. It is not our rest: it was designed for our passage, but no for our portion; our inn, but not our home; here we have no continuin city; let us therefore arise and depart, let us seek a continuing cit above. Since they will be deceived, let them be deceived. Teachers wh recommend self-indulgence by their doctrine and example, best suit suc sinners.
