micah-7:7

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Micah 7:1-20

Chapter 7The prophet said,Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desires the first ripe fruit ( Micah 7:1 ).I'm desolate. I really don't have anything.The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is no upright men left: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asked, and the judges take bribes... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Micah 7:1-20

Micah 7:1 . I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits. “I am become as the gatherers of late figs, as the gleaners of the vintage.” NEWCOME. Micah 7:8 . Rejoice not against me, oh mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise. The prophet here anticipates the language of the church in captivity. Zion would have a fall, and for a time would sit in darkness. Babylon would cast her down, and shut her up as it were in prison, bound in affliction and iron. Psalms 107:10-12. In this... read more

Therefore will I look unto the Lord ] "Therefore," inasmuch as there is no faith nor fair dealing among men, "I will look unto the Lord"; look wishly and intently, as a watchman in his watch tower doth look as far as ever he can see on every side.

JEHOVAH AND ISRAEL IN CONTROVERSY THE ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT, Micah 6:1 to Micah 7:20. With Micah 6:1, begins a new series of utterances. The contents and arrangement are essentially the same as in the preceding sections, denunciation of sin, announcement of judgment, promise of the redemption and glorification of a remnant. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:7-10

CONFIDENCE OF THE PENITENT COMMUNITY IN A FINAL DELIVERANCE, Micah 7:7-10. As these verses stand now, one might suppose, on first thought, that they came from the same speaker as Micah 7:1-6. The prophet, having bewailed the present corruption of his fellow citizens, breaks out, “Whatever they may do, as for me, I will look unto Jehovah.” But the language of Micah 7:8-10 clearly shows that the speaker cannot be the prophet; he must be the people, or at least a remnant of the people. If the... read more
