Michah.Michaiah, [Mîykayehûw ,] as he is named in the parallel passage, is here called [Mîykâh ,] Michah, merely by the omission of [Yâhh ,] {yah,} one of the Divine names.

Asaiah.This variation only exists in the translation; the original being uniformly Asaiah, or rather, Asayah.

Then.It has been doubted whether Jeremiah acted prudently in this decision, as the event seems to indicate the contrary, and as it was the evident meaning of all his predictions that the Jews should not prosper in their own country till the expiration of seventy years. But he was evidently influenced by the most unbounded love to his country, for whose welfare he had watched, prayed, and lived; and he now chose rather to share her adversities, her sorrows, her wants, her afflictions, and her disgrace, than to be the companion of princes, and to sit at the table of kings. His patriotism was as unbounded as it was sincere: he only ceased to live for country when he ceased to breathe.
