For her wound is incurable; The "wound" refers to the sin and corruption of Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The term "incurable" suggests that the moral and spiritual decay has reached a point beyond remedy, indicating divine judgment is inevitable. This reflects the broader biblical theme of sin leading to destruction, as seen in Genesis 6:5-7 with the flood narrative. The imagery of an incurable wound is also used in Jeremiah 30:12-15, emphasizing the severity of Israel's spiritual condition. it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself. Persons / Places / Events 1. MicahA prophet from Moresheth, who prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. He is known for his messages of judgment and hope. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. It was often warned by prophets about impending judgment due to sin and idolatry. 3. Jerusalem The capital city of Judah, significant as the spiritual and political center of the Jewish people. It is often a focal point in prophetic warnings and promises. 4. Samaria Although not mentioned directly in this verse, it is implied as the source of the "wound" due to its idolatry and sin, which influenced Judah. 5. The Wound Symbolic of the sin and corruption that has spread from Samaria to Judah, representing spiritual and moral decay. Teaching Points The Consequences of SinSin has far-reaching effects, impacting not just individuals but entire communities and nations. The "incurable wound" signifies the depth and seriousness of sin's impact. The Spread of Corruption Just as the sin of Samaria spread to Judah, sin can easily spread if not addressed. It serves as a warning to guard against complacency and compromise. The Need for Repentance The incurable nature of the wound points to the necessity of repentance and turning back to God for healing and restoration. God's Judgment and Mercy While God pronounces judgment, His ultimate desire is for His people to return to Him. This verse serves as a call to recognize the need for divine intervention. The Role of Prophets Prophets like Micah were sent to warn and guide God's people. Their messages are relevant today as they call us to examine our lives and align with God's will.(9) Her wound is incurable.--The state of Samaria is incurable: she is doomed: the destroyer is approaching--nay, he comes near, even to Jerusalem. The outlying towns are described as shuddering at the invader's advance, but Jerusalem itself is spared.Verse 9. - Her wound; her stripes, the punishment inflicted on Samaria. Incurable (comp. Jeremiah 15:18) The day of grace is past, and Israel has not repented. It is come. The stripe, the punishment, reaches Judah. To the prophetic eye the Assyrians' invasion of Judaea seems close at hand, and even the final attack of the Chaldeans comes within his view. The same sins in the northern and southern capitals lead to the same fate. He is come. He, the enemy, the agent of the "stripe." The gate of my people. The gate, the place of meeting, the well guarded post, is put for the city itself (comp. Genesis 22:17; Deuteronomy 28:52; Obadiah 1:11). Pusey thinks that Micah refers to something short of total excision, and therefore that the invasion of Sennacherib alone is meant (2 Kings 18:13). But the fore shortened view of the prophet may well include the final ruin. Parallel Commentaries ...
