Micah 4:10
_ _ Be in pain, and labour — carrying on the metaphor of a pregnant woman. Thou shalt be affected with bitter sorrows before thy deliverance shall come. I do not forbid thy grieving, but I bring thee consolation. Though God cares for His children, yet they must not expect to be exempt from trouble, but must prepare for it.
_ _ go forth out of the city — on its capture. So “come out” is used 2 Kings 24:12; Isaiah 36:16.
_ _ dwell in the field — namely, in the open country, defenseless, instead of their fortified city. Beside the Chebar (Psalms 137:1; Ezekiel 3:15).
_ _ Babylon — Like Isaiah, Micah looks beyond the existing Assyrian dynasty to the Babylonian, and to Judah’s captivity under it, and restoration (Isaiah 39:7; Isaiah 43:14; Isaiah 48:20). Had they been, as rationalists represent, merely sagacious politicians, they would have restricted their prophecies to the sphere of the existing Assyrian dynasty. But their seeing into the far-off future of Babylon’s subsequent supremacy, and Judah’s connection with her, proves them to be inspired prophets.
_ _ there ... there — emphatic repetition. The very scene of thy calamities is to be the scene of thy deliverance. In the midst of enemies, where all hope seems cut off, there shall Cyrus, the deliverer, appear (compare Judges 14:14). Cyrus again being the type of the greater Deliverer, who shall finally restore Israel. |
Micah 4:10
In pain — Thou shalt have troubles, sorrows, and dangers in the wars against the Babylonians, and in the captivity under them. Now — Shortly. In the field — In their journey to Babylon they were forced to lodge in the fields. Delivered — By Cyrus, by Darius, and by Artaxerxes; and this was a type of a greater deliverance. Redeem — The Hebrew word points out a redemption by the next kinsman, and so minds us of the Messiah, the great redeemer of the church. |
