Micah 6:3
‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
BSB
ASV
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
KJV
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
The third interruption of the Prophet is that, as he is stationed among people who exercise wickedness, he desires to be separated from their contamination. Many think that this refers to the Lord Jesus, because it is His alone not to fear judgment, since He conquers when He is judged. For He has a judgment from an unjust man, into which Christ willingly enters, as you have written: My people, what have I done to you, or in what have I saddened you?
O My people - This one tender word, twice repeated , contains in one a whole volume of reproof.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
