Miquéias 7:11-12 NVT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 7:7-13

The prophet, having sadly complained of the wickedness of the times he lived in, here fastens upon some considerations for the comfort of himself and his friends, in reference thereunto. The case is bad, but it is not desperate. Yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. I. ?Though God be now displeased he shall be reconciled to us, and then all will be well, Mic. 7:7, 9. We are now under the indignation of the Lord; God is angry with us, and justly, because we have sinned against... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 7:11

In the day that thy walls are to be built ,.... These words are not spoken to the enemy, as some think; either the Chaldeans, the walls of whose city, Babylon, being demolished by the Persians, it would be a long day or time before they were rebuilt and when their power of sending their decrees abroad among the nations would be far off: or to the enemy that should think to build up their walls with the spoils of Israel, in the time of Gog and Magog, and when their decree determined over... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 7:12

In that day also he shall come even to thee ,.... Which words also are not directed to the enemy, as some interpret them; as to Chaldea or Babylon; and the sense be, that Cyrus should come thither, and take it; or any more remote enemy of the Jews in the latter day, to whom the day of the Lord should come, or his decree of vengeance or judgment upon them, or any enemy to waste and destroy them; but they are a continued address to Jerusalem or the church, signifying that "he", the people... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:11

In the day that thy walls are to be built - This refers to Jerusalem; the decree, to the purpose of God to deliver the people into captivity. "This shall be far removed." God having purposed their return, I cannot think, with some commentators, that this verse contains threatenings against Jerusalem, and not promises. See Haggai 1:1-15 ; (note), where the subject is similar; and the restoration of Jerusalem is certainly what the prophet describes. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:12

In that day also he shall come - Bp. Newcome translates: - "And in that day they shall come unto thee From Assyria and the fenced cities; And from Egypt even unto the river." Calmet translates: - "They shall come to thee from Assyria even unto Egypt; And from Egypt even to the river; (Euphrates); And from one sea to another, and from one mountain to another." This, says he, gives an easy sense; whereas we cannot tell where to find those fortified cities spoken of by other... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:11

Verse 11 Micah pursues the subject on which he had previously spoken, — that though the Church thought itself for a time to be wholly lost, yet God would become its deliverer. He says first, that the day was near, in which they were to build the wall. The word גדר, gidar, means either a mound or a wall; so it ought to be distinguished from a wall, that is, a strong fortress. He then intimates that the time would come, when God would gather his Church, and preserve it, as though it were defended... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:12

Verse 12 He afterwards adds, In that day also to thee shall they come from Asshur. There is some obscurity in the words; hence interpreters have regarded different words as being understood: but to me the meaning of the Prophet appears not doubtful. In that day, he says,to thee shall they come from Asshur, and cities of the fortress and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain; but some think הר, er, to be a proper name, and render the last clause,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:1-13

The good in degenerate times. We are not to understand these verses as referring specially to the prophet himself. In Micah 1:8 , Micah 1:9 we have his own lamentation in view of the prevailing ungodliness; here "the speaker is not the prophet, but the true Israel, i.e. Israel within Israel, personified" (Cheyne). God has never left himself without witnesses. Even in the most corrupt and degenerate times he has had a people to show forth his praise. It was so in the age to which this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:11

The prophet here addresses Zion, and announces her restoration. In the day that thy walls are to be built; rather, a day for building thy walls ( gader ) cometh . Zion is represented as a vineyard whose fence has been destroyed ( Isaiah 5:5 , Isaiah 5:7 ). The announcement is given abruptly and concisely in three short sentences. In that day shall the decree be far removed. The decree ( Zephaniah 2:2 ) is explained by Hengstenberg and many commentators, ancient and modern, to he... read more
