Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Micah 7:8

_ _ Rejoice not — at my fall.

_ _ when I fall, I shall arise — (Psalms 37:24; Proverbs 24:16).

_ _ when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light — Israel reasons as her divine representative, Messiah, reasoned by faith in His hour of darkness and desertion (Isaiah 50:7, Isaiah 50:8, Isaiah 50:10). Israel addresses Babylon, her triumphant foe (or Edom), as a female; the type of her last and worst foes (Psalms 137:7, Psalms 137:8). “Mine enemy,” in Hebrew, is feminine.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Micah 7:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Micah 7:8

Rejoice not — The prophet personates the church. Let it be no matter of glorying to thee, that the day of calamity hath overtaken me. In darkness — When affliction, war, famine, and captivity cover me. A light — Shall support, comfort and deliver me.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Micah 7:8

Rejoice not against me, (h) O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.

(h) This is spoken in the voice of the Church, which calls the malignant church her enemy.
