Michea 4:9-10

9 Ora, perché gridi tu così forte? Non v’è egli alcun re dentro di te? Il tuo consigliere è egli perito che l’angoscia ti colga come di donna che partorisce?

10 Soffri e gemi, o figliuola di Sion, come donna che partorisce! Poiché ora uscirai dalla città, dimorerai per i campi, e andrai fino a Babilonia. Là tu sarai liberata, là l’Eterno ti riscatterà dalla mano dei tuoi nemici.

Michea 4:9-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MICAH 4

This chapter contains some gracious promises concerning the glory and happiness of the church of Christ in the last days; as of its stability, exaltation, and increase, and of the spread of the Gospel from it, Mic 4:1,2; and of the peace and security of it, and constant profession and exercise of religion in it, Mic 4:3-5; and of the deliverance of it from affliction and distress, and the ample and everlasting kingdom of Christ in it, Mic 4:6-8; and then follow some prophecies more particularly respecting the Jews; as that, though they should be in distress, and be carried captive into Babylon, they should be delivered from thence, Mic 4:9,10; and, though many people should be gathered against them, yet should not be able to prevail over them, but their attempts would issue in their own destruction, Mic 4:11-13.
