Context of Micah 7:13
11A day to rebuild your walls— a day the boundary will be far off, 12a day when they will come to you from Assyria to the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the River, from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. Yet the land will become a wasteland because of her inhabitants, because of the fruit of their misdeeds. 14Tend Your people with Your staff, the flock of Your inheritance, dwelling alone, in a forest in the midst of a fertile garden. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. 15As in the days of your coming out from the land of Egypt I will show him wonders.
