Micah is mocking the people, trying to make them think about why God is dealing with them in this way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Look at how you are shouting loudly.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) Is there no king among you? Has your counselor died? Is this why pain grips you like that of a woman in labor?
(Some words not found in UHB: now to/for=what shout loud_shout ?,king not on/over=you(fs) if counselor_of,your perished that/for/because/then/when seized,you pangs like_a,woman_in_labor )
Micah continues to mock the people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind these questions as statements. Alternate translation: “You have a king, but he is useless to you. All your wise people are still alive, but they have nothing wise to say to you. This is why you are weeping loudly like a woman who is giving birth to a baby.”
4:9 Israel’s king and wise people were supposed to provide leadership and embody the Lord’s instructions and covenant in their lives (Deut 17:18-20). Now, however, the people would be without godly leadership (cp. Judg 17:6; 18:1; 21:25).
OET (OET-LV) Now to/for_what do_you_shout shouting king is_there_not on/over_you(fs) or counselor_of_your has_he_perished (cmp) seized_you anguish like_a_woman_in_labour.
