Micah 7:15

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 7:15

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt ,.... This is an answer of the Lord to the prayer of the prophet, assuring him, and the church he represents, and on whose account he applies, that there would be as great a deliverance wrought for them, and as wonderful things done, as when Israel was brought out of the land of Egypt, which was effected with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm, and was attended with amazing events; as the plagues in Egypt; the passage of the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 7:15

Verse 15 The Prophet here introduces God as the speaker; and he so speaks as to give an answer to his prayer. God then promises that he will be wonderful in his works, and give such evidences of his power, as he exhibited when he brought up his people from the land of Egypt. We now see that there is more force in this passage, than if the Prophet had at first said, that God would become the deliverer of his people: for he interposed entreaty and prayer and God now shows that he will be merciful... 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

According to ( as in ) the days. The Lord answers the prophet's prayer, taking up his last word, and promising even more than he asks, engaging to equal the wonders which marked the exodus from Egypt.

The ultimate deliverance of man from sin.

In this passage there is an answer to the... read more

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt - God answers the prayer, beginning with its closing words .

Joseph Benson

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
