Micah 7:14 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

Feed Thy people with Thy rod, with a true shepherd's care, the staff being the mark of the shepherd, Zechariah 11:4 ff.; Psalms 23, the flock of Thine heritage, the possession of Jehovah, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel, rather, "in the forest in the midst of Carmel let them feed," surrounded by the richest blessings; let them teed in Bashan and Gilead, whose rich meadows were proverbial in Israel, as in the days of old, when, under David, the kingdom enjoyed the fullness of material and spiritual prosperity. The Lord answers this plea with an assurance of His mercy, to be given in a larger measure than His people asked for.

Micah 7:14

14 Feedc thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
