Micah 6:9 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

God's voice is his word, his ordinances, his providences, his mercies, his judgments. And the man of wisdom will see and regard it. In the margin of our old Bibles, the words are, thy name shall see that which is, that is, by the name is meant person; the Lord shall see. Thus the Lord saith, thou hast a few names in Sardis; that is, thou hast a few persons there. Revelation 3:4. And speaking of Christ, it is said, in his name shall the Gentiles trust; that is, in Christ shall they trust. Matthew 12:21. Hear the rod, is an uncommon expression. One might have expected it would have been said to feel it. But God's rods differ from the rods of men. His rods speak as well as correct; for the sinner is made to connect with the punishment the sin which brings it.
