Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Micah 7

Mic 7:1-6.

Mic 7:5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

Trust

Scofield Psalm 2:12, note.


Mic 7:7-20—(2) The voice of the remnant in the last days.

Mic 7:7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

I will look unto the LORD

Micah 7:7-20 is, primarily, the confession and intercession of the prophet, who identifies himself with Israel. Cf. Dan 9:3-19. Intercession was a test of the prophetic office (Jer 27:18; Gen 20:7). But Micah's prayer voices also the heart exercise of the remnant in the last days. Such is prophecy, an intermingling of the near and the far. (Cf. Psa 22:1; Mat 27:46.)

Mic 7:9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

I shall behold his righteousness

Rom 10:1-4; 11:23-27.

Mic 7:11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.

thy walls are to be built

Amo 9:11.

Mic 7:15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.

thy coming out of the land of Egypt

Psa 78:12.

Mic 7:17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

They shall lick the dust

Psa 72:9; Isa 49:23.

they shall be afraid of the LORD

Jer 33:9.

Mic 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

remnant

Remnant. Zep 2:1-3, 7-9. (Isa 1:9; Rom 11:5).
