The Key Word — ע֗וֹד, odgenerated
The word ע֗וֹד (od) is an adverb meaning 'still' or 'again.' It conveys a sense of continuation or repetition, indicating that something persists over time. In this context, it suggests that the LORD has not forgotten the wickedness and continues to remember it.
The parsing as an adverb shows its role in the sentence, emphasizing the ongoing nature of God's awareness of the wickedness. This word appears frequently in the Old Testament, often highlighting persistence or the idea of 'more' in various contexts.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses forget for ע֗וֹד, while the NETB opts for overlook, suggesting a different nuance in understanding God's attitude towards the wicked.
The other translations generally agree on the meaning of ע֗וֹד, with the KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE all using still, reinforcing the idea of ongoing remembrance.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of a main clause introduced by the verb הַאִשׁ֙ (ha'ish), meaning 'there is,' indicating the existence of the house of the wicked. This is followed by a series of noun phrases detailing the treasures and their nature.
The structure emphasizes the moral indictment through the enumeration of the wicked's possessions, linking them to their corrupt practices. The word order reflects the weight of the accusations against the house of the wicked.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew word ע֗וֹד is translated as μὴ (mē), which means 'not' or 'no.' This choice shifts the focus slightly from the idea of continuation to a negation, suggesting a different interpretation of the LORD's forgetfulness.
This translation choice indicates a narrowing of the original meaning, emphasizing the absence of forgetfulness rather than the persistence of memory.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Micah 6:10 asks if the LORD can continue to forget the wickedness found in the house of the wicked, highlighting the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed. This verse emphasizes the ongoing moral issues and the LORD's awareness of them.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
The treasures of wickedness refer to the ill-gotten gains and corrupt practices that are morally wrong and unjust.

stil: "To be still" is "to keep silence" (Ps 4:4, etc.) and so "to be quiet" (Ps 107:29, etc.) or "inactive" in any way (Jud 18:9; 1Ki 22:3; Zec 1:11, etc.). So "be still" in Ps 46:10 means "desist from your war" (compare the Revised Version margin "let be"). The "still small voice" of 1Ki 19:12 (the Revised Version margin "sound of gentle stillness") is due to taking the Hebrew demamah in its literal force of "silent," but the word here means "whisper"--"a whispering, little voice."

1. In the Old Testament:
The state of being wicked; a mental disregard for justice, righteousness, truth, honor, virtue; evil in thought and life; depravity; sinfulness; criminality. See SIN. Many words are rendered "wickedness." There are many synonyms for wickedness in English and also in the Hebrew. Pride and vanity lead to it: "All the proud, and all that work wickedness (rish`ah) shall be stubble" (Mal 4:1). Akin to this is the word `awen, "iniquity," "vanity": "She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness" (Pr 30:20). Then we have the word hawwah, meaning "mischief," "calamity," coming from inward intent upon evil: "Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in…
