Context of Micah 7:15
13The other parts of the earth will become sad places where nobody lives. God will destroy them because of the people who live there. Those people have done what is bad. 14Rule us and lead us, Lord. You are like a man who leads his sheep. He uses a strong stick to lead them. We are your own special people. We are like a group of sheep that lives by itself in a forest. There is good grass all round them. Let your sheep eat grass in Bashan and Gilead, as they did a long time ago. Lord, you did great things long ago, when you brought us out of the land of Egypt. Do great things like that again. 16The people in other countries will see what you do. They will understand that they are not really powerful. So then they will be ashamed. They will be like deaf people and dumb people. 17They will be like snakes that move along the ground. They will be afraid and they will eat dust like snakes. They will come carefully out of their safe places, because they are afraid of you, the Lord our God.
