SCRIPTURE

"Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt put away, but shalt not save; and that which thou savest will I give up to the sword." — Micah 6:14 (ASV)

Thy casting down. —The Hebrew word is found only in this passage. It comes from an unused root, meaning to be void, empty. Hence it may be translated hunger.

Thou shalt take hold. —You shall collect your property for flight, to save it from the enemy; but in vain: it shall be captured.
