彌迦書 7:16 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 7:14-20

Here is, I. The prophet's prayer to God to take care of his own people, and of their cause and interest, Mic. 7:14. When God is about to deliver his people he stirs up their friends to pray for them, and pours out a spirit of grace and supplication, Zech. 12:10. And when we see God coming towards us in ways of mercy, we must go forth to meet him by prayer. It is a prophetic prayer, which amounts to a promise of the good prayed for; what God directed his prophet to ask no doubt he designed to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 7:16

The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might ,.... The Chaldeans or Babylonians, when they shall see the wonderful things done by the Lord in the deliverance of his people out of their hands, shall be ashamed of their own power and might, in which they trusted, and of which they boasted; but now shall be baffled and defeated, and not able to stop the progress of the arms of Cyrus, or detain the Jews any longer their captives; or they shall be confounded at the power and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:16

The nations shall see and be confounded - Whether the words in these verses ( Micah 7:15-17 ;) be applied to the return from the Babylonish captivity, or to the prosperity of the Jews under the Maccabees, they may be understood as ultimately applicable to the final restoration of this people, and their lasting prosperity under the Gospel. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:16

Verse 16 Here again the Prophet shows, that though the Church should be assailed on every side and surrounded by innumerable enemies, no doubt ought yet to be entertained respecting the promised aid of God; for it is in his power to make all nations ashamed, that is, to cast down all the pride of the world, so as to make the unbelieving to acknowledge at length that they were elated by an empty confidence. Hence he says, that the nations shall see; as though he said, “I know what makes you... read more

§ 7. The prophet in the name of the people prays for this promised salvation, and the Lord assures him that his mercies shall not fail, and that the hostile nations shall be humbled. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:14-17

Prayer and its response. How mysteriously great is the privilege of prayer! How wonderful that finite creatures may thus draw near to the Infinite, carrying their needs into the Divine presence, breathing their desires into the ear of God, and obtaining from him all required mercy and grace! We think of the patriarch who, weary and worn with his wanderings, slept, with a stone for his pillow, and we speak of the ladder he beheld connecting the spot where he lay with the very throne of God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:15-17

The ultimate deliverance of man from sin. "According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their cars shall be deaf. They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee." In this passage there is an answer to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:16

Shall see. The heathen shall see these marvellous things. Be confounded at ( ashamed of ) all their might. Hostile nations shall be ashamed when they find the impotence of their boasted power. Compare the effect of the Exodus on contiguous nations ( Exodus 15:14 , etc.; Joshua 2:9 , Joshua 2:10 ). They shall lay their hand upon their mouth. They shall be silent from awe and astonishment ( 18:19 ; Job 21:5 ; Isaiah 52:15 ). Their ears shall be deaf . Their senses shall... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 7:16

The nations shall see - God had answered, what He would give to His own people, to see. Micah takes up the word, and says, what effect this sight should have upon the enemies of God and of His people. The world should still continue to be divided between the people of God and their adversaries. Those who are converted pass from the one to the other; but the contrast remains. Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, pass away or become subject to other powers; but the antagonism continues. The nations are they,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 7:15-16

Micah 7:15-16. According to the days of thy coming These words are an answer to the prophet’s prayer in the foregoing verse; wherein God tells him that the wonders he will perform in bringing back his people into their own country shall be as conspicuous as those which he showed in their deliverance out of Egypt, and giving them the first possession of it. The sense is equivalent to that of Psalms 68:22, The Lord hath said, I will bring my people again, as I did from Bashan, &c. The... read more
