Micah 3:9-12

The Chapter closeth as it opened, full of judgment; but all preparatory to mercy, as the following Chapter declares. Indeed we ought to read both together, that we might do as the Psalmist did, when he sang both of judgment and mercy. The Holy Ghost in his divine office convinces of sin, and convinceth of Christ's righteousness. Psalms 101:1; John 16:8.
