micah 2:9 "The women of My people you evict, Each [one] from her pleasant house. From her children you take My splendor forever.

< Micah 2:8
Micah 2:10 >

      9. The women of my people--that is, the widows of the men slain by you (Mic 2:2) ye cast out from their homes which had been their delight, and seize on them for yourselves.
      from their children--that is, from the orphans of the widows.
      taken away my glory--namely, their substance and raiment, which, being the fruit of God's blessing on the young, reflected God's glory. Thus Israel's crime was not merely robbery, but sacrilege. Their sex did not save the women, nor their age the children from violence.
      for ever--There was no repentance. They persevered in sin. The pledged garment was to be restored to the poor before sunset (Ex 22:26, 27); but these never restored their unlawful booty.
