German Elber 1905 (Darby Unrevidierte Elberfelder)
Seine Häupter richten um Geschenke, und seine Priester lehren um Lohn, und seine Propheten wahrsagen um Geld; und sie stützen sich auf Jahwe und sagen: Ist nicht Jahwe in unserer Mitte? Kein Unglück wird über uns kommen!
Was bedeutet das?
Micah is talking about the leaders of Israel who are corrupt and only do things for money, including judges, priests, and prophets. Despite their corruption, they think God will protect them because He's with them.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine a group of kids in charge at school who don't really care about doing what's right; they just want to get paid. Even though they're not being good leaders, they think the principal will always be on their side and keep helping them.
Historischer Hintergrund
Micah wrote this around 750-700 BC during a time of corruption among Israel's leadership. He was speaking to his fellow Israelites, warning them about their actions and the consequences if they don't change.
Anwendung für heute
Today, imagine a company where executives make decisions based on personal gain rather than what’s best for everyone. They might think that just because they have a good track record, nothing bad will ever happen to them, but God sees everything and expects integrity.
