Micah 4:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Micah 4:8

Zion’s Future Triumph

6 “In that day,” says the Lord,
^a“I will assemble the lame,
^bI will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;

7 I will make the lame ^aa remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord ^bwill reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.

8 And you, O tower of the flock,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”

9 Now why do you cry aloud?
^aIs there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For ^bpangs have seized you like a woman in¹ labor.

10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to ^aBabylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the ^bLord will ^credeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
