Psalms 94:5
5, 6. thy people [and] thine heritage—are synonymous, the people being often called God's heritage. As justice to the weak is a sign of the best government, their oppression is a sign of the worst (De 10:18; Isa 10:2).
Micah 3:2-3
2. pluck off their skin . . . flesh—rob their fellow countrymen of all their substance (Ps 14:4; Pr 30:14).
3. pot . . . flesh within . . . caldron—manifold species of cruel oppressions. Compare Eze 24:3, &c., containing, as to the coming punishment, the same figure as is here used of the sin: implying that the sin and punishment exactly correspond.
