Rashi, on Mic 2:7
Rashi · 1040–1105
Mic 2:7 · Douay-Rheims
“The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly?”
On this verse:
“Is that what is said by the house of Jacob?—Do (the people of) the house of Jacob say this when they hear the evil that my prophets prophesy for them? Has the Lord’s patience grown short?—Is He now unable to do good, or does He not (now) have the patience that He had in the early days to do good? Are these His deeds?—I.e., to do evil? Do not My words benefit the one who goes straight?—I am not impatient, neither are these My deeds, except to the wicked; but with the one who goes straight, I do good.”
