Micah 7:17
_ _ lick the dust — in abject prostration as suppliants (Psalms 72:9; compare Isaiah 49:23; Isaiah 65:25).
_ _ move out of their holes — As reptiles from their holes, they shall come forth from their hiding-places, or fortresses (Psalms 18:45), to give themselves up to the conquerors. More literally, “they shall tremble from,” that is, tremblingly come forth from their coverts.
_ _ like worms — reptiles or crawlers (Deuteronomy 32:24).
_ _ they shall be afraid of the Lord — or, they shall in fear turn with haste to the Lord. Thus the antithesis is brought out. They shall tremble forth from their holes: they shall in trepidation turn to the Lord for salvation (compare Note, see on Hosea 3:5, and Jeremiah 33:9).
_ _ fear because of thee — shall fear Thee, Jehovah (and so fear Israel as under Thy guardianship). There is a change here from speaking of God to speaking to God [Maurer]. Or rather, “shall fear thee, Israel” [Henderson]. |
Micah 7:17
Lick the dust — In the most submissive, servile manner, testify their subjection. Holes — Their strong holds, and fastnesses. Because of thee — So that the name of Jews, shall be terrible to their enemies. |
