Micah 3:12 (cf. Jeremiah 26:17-19) in A Commentary on the Holy Bible, ed. J. R. Dummelow

  

 

Cp. Jer 26^17-19. The people of Jerusalem’s time, angered by his prophecies of disaster, wished to put him to death. Some of the elders reminded them that, when Micah denounced a like judgment, Hezekiah, instead of killing him, repented at his words, and so averted the disaster. This implies that the religious minds of that time recognized how true prophecy is always conditional on the attitude men take to them. (A Commentary on the Holy Bible, ed. J. R. Dummelow [New York: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1908], 581)
