Michea 7:14-17

14 Pastura il tuo popolo con la tua verga; la greggia della tua eredità, che se ne sta solitaria nelle selve, in mezzo di Carmel; pasturi ella in Basan, ed in Galaad, come a’ dì antichi.
15 Io le farò veder cose maravigliose, come a’ dì che tu uscisti del paese di Egitto.
16 Le genti vedranno queste cose, e saranno svergognate di tutta la lor potenza; si metteranno la mano in su la bocca, le loro orecchie saranno assordate.
17 Leccheranno la polvere, come la biscia, come i rettili della terra; tremeranno da’ lor ricetti, e si verranno ad arrendere al Signore Iddio nostro, con ispavento; e temeranno di te.

Michea 7:14-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 7

This chapter begins with a lamentation of the prophet, in the name of the church and people of God, concerning the general depravity and corruption of the times in which he lived, Mic 7:1-6; then declares what he was determined to do for his relief in such circumstances, Mic 7:7; comforts himself and the church with a good hope and firm belief of its being otherwise and better with them, to the shame and confusion of their enemies that now rejoiced, though without just reason for it, Mic 7:8-10; with promises of deliverance, after a desolation of the land for some time, Mic 7:11-13; and with the answer returned to the prayers of the prophet, Mic 7:14,15; which would issue in the astonishment of the world, and their subjection to the church of God, Mic 7:16,17; and the chapter is concluded with admiration at the pardoning grace and mercy of God, and his faithfulness to his promises, Mic 7:18-20.
