Context of Micah 7:13
11In the day when thy walls shall be built, on that day shall the established limit recede. 12In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. 14Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. 15— As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew them marvellous things.
