John Trapp on Micah 1:12

Verſe 12. For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good,] Or, ſhall grieve for the good, viz. that he hath loſt in the common calamity; grieve till he[illegible: 1 letter] be heart-ſick, as Amos 6.6. or wait till he faint, for hope deferred maketh the heart ſick, Prov. 13.12. The name of this city is Maroth, that is, bitterneſſes; and bitter things ſhall befall her: ſee Ruth 1.20. becauſe together with the good of Piety, which ſhe ought to have waited upon, ſhe hath loſt the good of Proſperity, which in vain ſhe hath waited for. The expectation of the wicked is wrath, Prov. 11.23.

But evil came down from the Lord.] It is He that ſends and ſets the enemy awork: as Titus acknowledged, at the laſt deſtruction of Jeruſalem, that he onely lent his hands to the divine juſtice. It was God that ſtirred up enemies to revolted Solomon. And Joh deſcried Gods hand on the arms of the Sabean robbers.
