Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the son dishonoureth the father,.... Speaks contemptibly of him; behaves rudely towards him; shows him no respect and reverence; exposes his failings, and makes him the object of his banter and ridicule; who ought to have honoured, reverenced, and obeyed him, being the instrument of his being, by whom he was brought up, fed, clothed, and provided for; base ingratitude!
the daughter riseth up against her mother; by whom she has been used in the most tender and affectionate manner; this being still more unnatural, if possible, as being done by the female sex, usually more soft and pliable; but here, losing her natural affection, and forgetting both her relation and sex, replies to her mother, giving ill language; opposes and disobeys her, chides, wrangles, and scolds, and strives and litigates with her, as the Targum: or rises up as a witness against her, to her detriment, if not to the taking away of her life:
the daughter in law against her mother in law; this is not so much to be wondered at as, the former instances, which serve to encourage and embolden those that are in such a relation to speak pertly and saucily; to reproach and make, light of mothers in law, as the Targum; or slight and abuse them:
a man's enemies [are] the men of his own house; his sons and his servants, who should honour his person, defend his property, and promote his interest; but, instead of that, do everything that is injurious to him. These words are referred to by Christ, and used by him to describe the times in which he lived, Matthew 10:35; and the prophet may be thought to have an eye to the same, while he is settling forth the badness of his own times; and the Jews seem to think be had a regard to them, since they say y, that, when the Messiah comes, "the son shall dishonour his father", c. plainly having this passage in view and the; whole agrees with the times of Christ, in which there were few good men; it was a wicked age, an adulterous generation of men, he lived among; great corruption there was in princes, priests, and people; in the civil and ecclesiastical rulers, and in all ranks and degrees of men; and he that ate bread with Christ, even Judas, lifted up his heel against him. The times in which Micah the prophet here speaks of seem to he the times of Ahaz, who was a wicked prince; and the former part of Hezekiah's reign, before a reformation was started, or at least brought about, in whose reigns he prophesied; though some have thought he here predicts the sad times in the reign of Manasseh, which is not so probable.
y Misn. Sotah, c. 9. sect. 15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Trust ye not in a friend - It is part of the perplexity of crooked ways, that all relationships are put out of joint. Selfishness rends each from the other, and disjoints the whole frame of society. Passions and sin break every band of friendship, kindred, gratitude, nature. âEveryone âseeketh his ownâ.â Times of trial and of outward harass increase this; so that Godâs visitations are seasons of the most frightful recklessness as to everything but sell: So had God foretold Deuteronomy 28:53; so it was in the siege of Samaria 2 Kings 6:28, and in that of Jerusalem both by the Chaldeans Lamentations 4:3-16 and by the Romans . When the soul has lost the love of God, all other is but sceming love, since ânatural affectionâ is from Him, and it too dies out, as God gives the soul over to itself Romans 1:28. The words describe partly the inward corruption, partly the outward causes which shall call it forth.
There is no real trust in any, where all are eorrupt. The outward straitness and perplexity, in which they shall be, makes that to crumble and fall to pieces, which was inwardly decayed and severed before. The words deepen, as they go on. First, âthe friendâ, or neighbor, the common band of man and man; then âthe guideâ, (or, as the word also means, one âfamiliarâ, united by intimacy, to whom, by continual intercourse, the soul was âusedâ;) then the wife who lay in the bosom, nearest to the secrets of the heart; then those to whom all reverence is due, âfatherâ and âmotherâ. Our Lord said that this should be fulfilled in the hatred of His Gospel. He begins His warning as to it, with a caution like that of the prophet; âBe ye wise as serpentsâ Matthew 10:16-17, and âbeware of menâ. Then He says, how these words should still be true Matthew 10:21, Matthew 10:35-36. There never were wanting pleas of earthly interest against the truth.
He Himself was âcut offâ lest âthe Romans should take away their place and nationâ John 11:48. The Apostles were accused, that they meant to âbring this Manâs Blood uponâ the chief priests Acts 5:28; or as âringleaders of the sect of the Nazarenes, pestilant fallows and movers of sedition, turning the world upside down, setters up of another king; troublers of the city; comanding things unlawful for Romans to practice; setters forth of strange gods; turning away much peopleâ Acts 24:5; Acts 16:20-21; Acts 17:6-7, Act 17:18; 1 Peter 2:12; endangering not menâs craft only, but the honor of their gods; âevil doersâ. Truth is against the worldâs ways, so the world is against it. Holy zeal hates sin, so sinners hate it. It troubles them, so they count it, âone which troubleth Israelâ 1 Kings 18:17. Tertullian, in a public defense of Christians in the second century, writes, , âTruth set out with being herself hated; as soon as she appeared, she is an enemy. As many as are strangers to it, so many are its foes; and the Jews indeed appropriately from their rivalry, the soldiers from their violence, even they of our own household from nature. Each flay are we beset, each day betrayed; in our very meetings and assemblies are we mostly surprised.â
There was no lack of pleas. : âA Christian thou deemest a man guilty of every crime, an encmy of the goals, of the Emperors, of law, of morals, of all nature;â âfactious,â âauthors of all public calamities through the anger of the pagan gods,â âimpious,â âatheists,â âdisloyal,â âpublic enemies.â The Jews, in the largest sense of the word âthey of their own householdâ, were ever the deadliest enemies of Christians, the inventors of calumnies, the authors of persecutions. âWhat other race,â says , Tertullian, âis the seed-plot of our calumnies?â
Then the Acts of the Martyrs tell, how Christians were betrayed by near kinsfolk for private interest, or for revenge, because they would not join in things unlawful. Jerome: âSo many are the instances in daily life, (of the daughter rising against the mother) that we should rather mourn that they are so many, than seek them out.â - âI seek no examples, (of those of a manâs own househould being his foes) they are too many, that we should have any need of witness.â Dionysius: âYet ought we not, on account of these and like words of Holy Scripture, to be mistrustful or suspicious, or always to presume the worst, but to be cautious and prudent. For Holy Scripture speaketh with reference to times, causes, persons, places.â So John saith, âBelieve not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of Godâ 1 John 4:1.
