Notes

Micah 7:1

gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard: After the second crop of figs and fruit in August to September (toward the end of summer), no more fruit was produced for several months (see Isaiah 16:9; Jeremiah 48:32). No one could satisfy Micah’s hunger for righteousness (Micah 7:2–6).

Micah 7:1–20

Hopeless deception and corruption filled God’s people (Micah 7:1–6). Because of this, Micah mourned their condition and turned to the Lord for help (Micah 7:7–10).

Even so, God’s mercy would triumph. Israel would be restored by the Lord (Micah 7:11–13). God’s mercy, compassion, and unfailing love would prevail in the end (Micah 7:14–20).
