Micah 7 — Context

11

A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.

12

In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the towns of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.

13

But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.

14

Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.

15

As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.

16

The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped.

17

They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.
