How preachers through history handled this text
26 public-domain excerpts on Micah 7, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“When God is about to deliver his people, he stirs up their friends to pray for them. Apply spiritually the prophet's prayer to Christ, to take care of his church, as the great Shepherd of the sheep, and to go before them, while they are here in this world as in a wood, in this world but not of it. God promises in answer to this prayer, he will do that for them which shall be repeating the miracles of former ages. As their sin brought them into bondage, so God's pardoning their sin brought them out. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Micah 7:14–30 (Public Domain)
