Miquéias 7:14-17

Súplica por Misericórdia

14 Pastoreia o teu povo com o teu cajado,o rebanho da tua herançaque vive à parte numa floresta,em férteis pastagens.^[a]Deixa-o pastar em Basã e em Gileade,como antigamente.

15 “Como nos dias em que você saiu do Egito,ali mostrarei as minhas maravilhas”.

16 As nações verão isso e se envergonharão,despojadas de todo o seu poder.Porão a mão sobre a bocae taparão os ouvidos.

17 Lamberão o pó como a serpente,como animais que se arrastam no chão.Sairão tremendo das suas fortalezas;com temor se voltarão para o SENHOR, o nosso Deus,e terão medo de ti.

Miquéias 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.
