Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Micah 7:12

_ _ In that day also — rather, an answer to the supposed question of Zion, When shall my walls be built? “The day (of thy walls being built) is the day when he (that is, many) shall come to thee from Assyria,” etc. [Ludovicus De Dieu]. The Assyrians (including the Babylonians) who spoiled thee shall come.

_ _ and from the fortified cities — rather, to suit the parallelism, “from Assyria even to Egypt.” (Matzor may be so translated). So Assyria and Egypt are contrasted in Isaiah 19:23 [Maurer]. Calvin agrees with English Version, “from all fortified cities.”

_ _ from the fortress even to the river — “from Egypt even to the river” Euphrates (answering in parallelism to “Assyria”) [Maurer]. Compare Isaiah 11:15, Isaiah 11:16; Isaiah 19:23-25; Isaiah 27:13; Hosea 11:11; Zechariah 10:10.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Micah 7:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Micah 7:12

In that day — After the return out of captivity. He — He who is of Jewish race. To thee — O Jerusalem. The fortified cities — In which many Jews were kept for servile works. To the river — To Euphrates. To sea — From the Caspian to the Persian and to the Midland sea. From mountain — That is, from all parts of their captivity, they shall return to their own country.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Micah 7:12

[In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from (l) Assyria, and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.

(l) When the Church will be restored, those that were enemies before will come out of all the corners of the world to her, so that neither fortresses, rivers, seas, nor mountains will be able to stop them.
