Micah 6:13
"Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee,.... With the rod to be heard, Mic 6:9 ; by sending among them some of his sore judgments, as famine, pestilence, the sword

of the enemy, internal wars, and the like; which should cause their kingdom, and state, and families, to decline and waste away, as a sickly and diseased body. So the Targum, "and I brought upon thee illness and a stroke.'' The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it, "and I began to smite thee"; as by Hazael, king of Syria, and Tiglathpileser, king of Assyria, who had carried part of them captive; in making thee desolate because of thy sins; went on, not only to make them sick, and bring them into a declining state, but into utter desolation; as by Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, who carried Israel captive; and by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who led Judah captive, because of their sins of idolatry, injustice, and oppression, with others that abounded among them.
