SCRIPTURE

"The voice of Jehovah crieth unto the city, and [the man of] wisdom will see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it." — Micah 6:9 (ASV)

To the city — that is, Jerusalem, the metropolis of the wealth and sinfulness of Judah.

The man of wisdom will see your name — that is, will regard it. The sentence may be thrown in parenthetically, as in the warning, Whoso readeth, let him understand. And he will perceive the hand of God in the visitations for sin.
