Matthew Poole and continuators on Micah 2:9

9 The women of my people have ye cast out of their pleasant houses , from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever .

The poor disconsolate Widows, whose Husbands you had first slain with their sword of War, or unjustly condemned to Death, or else the Wives of Husbands whom you had oppressed, and by preverted judgment had condemned to forfeit their Estates.

This aggravates the sin that this was done against Israelitish women not strangers, against those that were by peculiar provision of God's law to be tenderly and mercifully dealt with, Exod. 22.22.

Disseise, and turn out, as if unworthy to dwell longer in their old habitations, which they pretend forfeited as Paradise by Adam, who was therefore in this very word cast out, Gen. 3.24. or as Hagar out of Abraham's Family, Gen. 21.15.

Either pleasant for scituation, such fears were to these as dangerous as Naboth's Vineyard was to him, or else pleasant to them, because they were their own, where they enjoyed their Husbands and Children, and wisht no more preferment, content with their beloved habitation, and domestick conveniencies.

You have by your violence, and oppression ruined their Posterity, turn'd their Children out of Houses, and Estates, which were secured by the Law of God from any legal alienation, and sale beyond the Jubilee, you have confiscated them for ever.

Which was the Glory of my bounty to them, in use of which they did give glory to me, and by continuance of which they might have lived above contempt,

either continually you have done this, or what you have done, you intend to stand for ever.
