2. all that therein is--Hebrew, "whatever fills it."
Micaiah, son of Imlah, our prophet's namesake, begins his prophecy
similarly, "Hearken, O people, every one of you." Micah designedly uses
the same preface, implying that his ministrations are a continuation of
his predecessor's of the same name. Both probably had before their
mind Moses' similar attestation of heaven and earth in a like case
(De 31:28; 32:1;
compare
Isa 1:2).
God be witness against you--namely, that none of you can say, when the
time of your punishment shall come, that you were not forewarned. The
punishment denounced is stated in
Mic 1:3,
&c.
from his holy temple--that is, heaven
(1Ki 8:30;
Ps 11:4;
Jon 2:7;
compare
Ro 1:18).
