And ashame will cover her who said to me,
b“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
From Assyria and the1 fortified cities,
From the1 fortress to the River,
From sea to sea,
And mountain to mountain.
Because of those who dwell in it,
And afor the fruit of their deeds.
God Will Forgive Israel
The flock of Your heritage,
Who dwell1 solitarily in a awoodland,
In the midst of Carmel;
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,
As in days of old.
bThey shall put their hand over their mouth;
Their ears shall be deaf.
bThey shall crawl from their holes like1 snakes of the earth.
cThey shall be afraid of the Lord our God,
And shall fear because of You.
bPardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression of cthe remnant of His heritage?
dHe does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in emercy.

Micah 7:12
In that day also he shall come - Bp. Newcome translates: -
"And in that day they shall come unto thee
From Assyria and the fenced cities;
And from Egypt even unto the river."
Calmet translates: -
"They shall come to thee from Assyria even unto Egypt;
And from Egypt even to the river; (Euphrates);
And from one sea to another, and from one mountain to another."
This, says he, gives an easy sense; whereas we cannot tell where to find those fortified cities spoken of by other translators. The Israelites were to return from their captivity, and re-occupy their ancient country from Assyria to Egypt; that is, from the river Euphrates to the river Nile; and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Ocean, and from Mount Libanus to the mountains of Arabia Petraea, or Mount Seir. See Amos 8:12. This prediction was literally fulfilled under the Asmoneans. The Jewish nation was greatly extended and very powerful under Herod, at the time that our Lord was born. See Calmet.
