John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:18

Verse 18 The Prophet here exclaims that God ought to be glorified especially for this — that he is merciful to his people. When he says, Who is God as thou art? he does not mean that there are other gods; for this, strictly speaking, is an improper comparison. But he shows that the true and only God may be distinguished from all idols by this circumstance — that he graciously forgives the sins of his people and bears with their infirmities. It is indeed certain, that all nations entertained the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:19

Verse 19 The Prophet now prescribes to the faithful a form of glorying, that they may boldly declare that God will be pacified towards them. Since then God loves mercy, he will return, he will have mercy on us The context here ought to be observed by us; for it would avail us but little to understand, I know not what, concerning God’s mercy, and to preach in general the free remission of sins, except we come to the application, that is, except each of the faithful believed that God, for his own... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:20

Verse 20 The faithful confirm here the former truth, that God had deposited his covenant with them, which could not be made void: and hence also shines forth more clearly what I have said before, that the faithful do not learn by their own understanding what sort of Being God is, but embrace the mercy which he offers in his own word. Except God then speaks, we cannot form in our own minds any idea of his grace but what is uncertain and vanishing; but when he declares that he will be merciful to... 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 7:10

She that is mine enemy. The worldly power is here personified, as so often "the daughter of Jerusalem." Shall see it. She shall see that Israel was not conquered because God was powerless to save. Where is the Lord thy God? The Assyrians always attributed their success in arms to the assistance, of their gods and the superiority of their deities to those of the conquered nations (comp. Isaiah 10:9-11 ; Isaiah 37:10-13 ). Thus the inscription of the palace of Khorsabad begins, "The gods... read more

Religious persecutors. "Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets." "And may mine enemy see it, and shame cover her who hath said to me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes will see it; now will she be for a treading down like mire in the streets" (Delitzsch). "Although, for example, God had given up his nation to the power of its... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:11-12

The good time coming. "In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain." The prophet here speaks in the name of Israel, and seems to exult in the expectation of the full restoration of Jerusalem. Her walls would be rebuilt, and her scattered citizens would be gathered unto... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:12

He shall come; they shall come . Men shall flock to Zion as the metropolis of the new kingdom ( Micah 4:2 ). The countries named are those in which the Jews were dispersed (see Isaiah 11:11 ). Micah embraces in one view the restoration of Israel and the conversion of the heathen (comp. Isaiah 19:24 ; Isaiah 27:12 , Isaiah 27:13 ). Assyria . The type of the greatest enemy of God. The fortified cities; rather, the cities of Mazor, the strong land, i.e. Egypt. The usual term... read more
