미가 7:17-18 KRV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 7:18-19

Micah 7:18-19. Who is a God like unto thee That is, there is no God like unto thee; that passeth by the transgression of the remnant, &c. That pardons the offences of the remainder of his people, namely, of those that shall survive the various punishments and destructions brought upon their forefathers for their sins. He retaineth not his anger for ever Though in his just displeasure he suffered their enemies to destroy their city, and lay their country desolate, and sent them into... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 7:1-20

Sin, repentance and forgiveness (7:1-20)Speaking as one of the genuine believers in the nation, Micah confesses that God’s accusations are true. The prophet can find nothing to satisfy him in the life of the people as a whole. Judah as a nation is fruitless and of no use to God (7:1).All around him Micah sees a society that is in a state of moral decay. Gang warfare is widespread, and law-breakers buy protection from judges. Rich businessmen and other influential persons bribe government... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 7:18

"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in living kindness.""Pardoneth iniquity ... passeth over the transgression ..." The great hallmark of the New Covenant lies in the promise of God to forgive the sins of his people, a promise that simply did not pertain to the old covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-35); and, therefore, in this we have a certain indication that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Micah 7:17

17. lick the dust—in abject prostration as suppliants (Psalms 72:9; compare Isaiah 49:23; Isaiah 65:25). move out of their holes—As reptiles from their holes, they shall come forth from their hiding-places, or fortresses (Isaiah 65:25- :), to give themselves up to the conquerors. More literally, "they shall tremble from," that is, tremblingly come forth from their coverts. like worms—reptiles or crawlers (Deuteronomy 32:24). they shall be afraid of the Lord—or, they shall in fear turn with... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Micah 7:18

18. Grateful at such unlooked-for grace being promised to Israel, Micah breaks forth into praises of Jehovah. passeth by the transgression—not conniving at it, but forgiving it; leaving it unpunished, as a traveller passes by what he chooses not to look into (Proverbs 19:11). Contrast Amos 7:8, and "mark iniquities," Psalms 130:3. the remnant—who shall be permitted to survive the previous judgment: the elect remnant of grace (Micah 4:7; Micah 5:3; Micah 5:7; Micah 5:8). retaineth not . . .... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 7:8-20

E. Micah’s confidence in the Lord 7:8-20This final section of the book is also in the form of a lament (cf. Micah 7:1-7). While Micah spoke as an individual, he spoke for the faithful remnant of Israelites in his day. His sentiments would have been theirs. Thus the lament is communal, but it gives way to glorious praise. Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and many of the psalmists likewise prayed as spokesmen for the faithful as well as for themselves (cf. Daniel 9; Ezra 9; Nehemiah 9; Lamentations... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 7:17

They will become as servile and humble as snakes. Licking the dust is a figure describing total defeat (cf. Genesis 3:14; Psalms 72:9 Isaiah 49:23; Isaiah 65:25). They will surrender to Yahweh, Israel’s God, and come before Him in fear and dread of what He will do to them (cf. Philippians 2:10). read more
