| Micah 2:9
| You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children.
| Cast out, etc. Either by depriving them of their houses; or, by your crimes, giving occasion to their being carried away captives, and their children, by that means, never learning to praise the Lord. (Challoner) --- The Jews accustomed them to sing God's praises early, while they were still innocent, Psalm 8:2. Misery might cause them to complain of Providence. Perhaps the prophet alludes to the custom of divorces, Malachias 2:15.
