Bible Commentary

Micah 7:16

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Shall see. The heathen shall see these marvellous things. Be confounded at (ashamed of) all their might. Hostile nations shall be ashamed when they find the impotence of their boasted power. Compare the effect of the Exodus on contiguous nations (Exodus 15:14, etc.

; Joshua 2:9, Joshua 2:10). They shall lay their hand upon their mouth. They shall be silent from awe and astonishment ( 18:19; Job 21:5; Isaiah 52:15). Their ears shall be deaf. Their senses shall be stupefied by the wonders which they see—that which Job (Job 26:14) calls "the thunder of his mighty deeds."

There may also be an allusion to their wilful obstinacy, and unbelief.
