Micah 7:6

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

For the son dishonoreth the father - See the use our Lord has made of these words, where he quotes them, Matthew 10:21; (note), Matthew 10:25; (note), Matthew 10:36; (note), and the notes there.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
The prophet bemoans himself that he lived among a people ripening apace for ruin, in which many good persons would suffer. Men had no comfort, no satisfaction in their own families or in their nearest relations. Contempt and violation of domestic duties are a sad symptom of universal corruption. Those are never likely to come to good who are undutiful to their parents. The prophet saw no safety or comfort but in looking to the Lord, and waiting on God his salvation. When under trials, we should look continually to our Divine Redeemer, that we may have strength and grace to trust in him, and to be examples to those around us.
