Context of Micah 7:19

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. 18Who is a God like you? You forgive sin and overlook the rebellion of your faithful people. You will not be angry forever, because you would rather show mercy. You will again have compassion on us. You will overcome our wrongdoing. You will throw all our sins into the deep sea. 20You will be faithful to Jacob. You will have mercy on Abraham as you swore by an oath to our ancestors long ago.

Commentaries on Micah 7:19

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19He will turn again - who seemed to be turned away from us when we were turned away from Him. “He will subdue, or trample under foot” Joel 2:14, our worst enemy, “our iniquities”, as He saith, “He shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly” Romans 16:20. Hitherto, sinful passions had not rebelled only, but had had the mastery over us. Sin subdued man; it was his lord, a fierce tyrant over him; he could not subdue it. Holy Scripture says emphatically of man…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-20Verses 14-20 When God is about to deliver his people, he stirs up their friends to pray for them. Apply spiritually the prophet's prayer to Christ, to take care of his church, as the great Shepherd of the sheep, and to go before them, while they are here in this world as in a wood, in this world but not of it. God promises in answer to this prayer, he will do that for them which shall be repeating the miracles of former ages. As their sin brought them…Read the comment

His faithfulness means he can be trusted to do good, no matter the cost to himself (see Psalm 89:1–2). Who is a God like You: This question likely refers to Micah’s name, which means “Who is like the Lord?”…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1919. turn again--to us, from having been turned away from us. subdue our iniquities--literally, "tread under foot," as being hostile and deadly to us. Without subjugation of our bad propensities, even pardon could not give us peace. When God takes away the guilt of sin that it may not condemn us, He takes away also the power of sin that it may not rule us. cast ... into ... depths of the sea--never to rise again to view, buried out of sight in eternal…Read the comment
