Context of Micah 7:15
13The earth will become a wasteland for those who live on it because of what the people living there have done. 14With your shepherd’s staff, take care of your people, the sheep that belong to you. They live alone in the woods, in fertile pastures. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead like before. Let us see miracles like the time you came out of Egypt. 16Nations will see this and be ashamed in spite of all their strength. They will put their hands over their mouths. Their ears will become deaf. 17They will lick dust like snakes, like animals that crawl on the ground. They will come out of their hiding places trembling. They will turn away from your presence in fear, O Lord our God. They will be afraid of you.
