John Trapp on Micah 6:12

Verſe 12. For the rich men thereof are full of violence] After that they have once enriched themſelves by fraud and falſe-dealing, they take the boldneſſe openly to oppreſſe, and to exerciſe regiment without righteouſneſſe, which is no better then robbery with authority: of which before chap. 2. and 3. Thus wicked men wax worſe and worſe 2 Tim. 3.13. till wrath come upon them to the utmoſt 2 Theſſ. 2.

and the inhabitants thereof have ſpoken lies] Not the rich men only are in fault: but as the Cretians, ſo theſe are alwayes liars, loud and lewd liars: their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth; ſo that they no ſooner open their mouthes, but ſwarmes of lies iſſue out: they are mendacierum loquaciſſimi, they have taught their tongues to ſpeak lies Ier. 9.5. they are now become artiſts at it: Yea they take faſt hold of deceit Ier. 8.5. ſo that they cannot be got off, without ſtriving. This is lamentable, and yet common: eſpecially in trading and traffiquing. But oh when ſhall that golden age return, that the argument may againe proceed, Sacerdos eſt, non fallet: Chriſtianus eſt, non mentietur. He is a miniſter, and will not deceive you: He is a Chriſtian, and will not lie! See Eſa. 63.8.
