John Trapp on Micah 1:3

Verſe 3. For behold the Lord commeth out of his place] that is, ſay they out of Iudaea and his temple there, leaving it to the Chaldaeans and Aſſyrians. See Ezech. 3.12. and chapters 9.10, and 11. where God makes divers removes from the Cherubins to the threſhold, from thence to the Eaſt-gate, from thence to mount Olivet, quite out of the city chap. 11.23 and when God was gone, then followed the fatall calamity, in the ruine of the city. But by Gods comming forth out of his place here, I conceive is meant his deſcending from heaven to do juſtice on this hypocriticall nation, Eſay 26.21, and becauſe hypocritis nihil stupidius hypocrites reſting on their externall performances and priviledges will hardly be perſwaded of any evill toward them Mic. 3.11. Is not the Lord, ſay they amongst us? none evill can come upon us; therefore we have heare an emphaticall Ecce, Behold the Lord commeth: he is even upon the way already, and will be here with the firſt. He will come down as once at Sodom, when their ſin was very grievous Gen. 18.20. when they were overcharged with the ſuperfluity of naughtineſſe; God came from heaven to give their land a vomit; And ſo he would do here: for Unregenerate Iſrael was to God as Ethiopia Am. 9.7. as the Rulers of Sodom, and people of Gomorrah Eſay 1.10.

and tread upon the high-places of the earth] the High and mighty Ones, that having gotten on the top of their hillocks as ſo many Ants, think themſelves ſo much the better and ſafer, repoſe confidence in their high places and ſtrong-holds, as Nebuchadnezzar did in his Babel, Edom in his clifts of the rocks, munitions of rocks, Obad. 3. the rich fool in his heapes and hoards Luk. 12. theſe, with their falſe confidences, God will tread down in his anger, and trample them in his fury, as the mire of the ſtreets: he will bring down their ſtrength to the earth, and lay their honour in the duſt. Iſa. 63.3, 6.
