SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:11
El día en que se edificarán tus muros, aquel día será alejado el mandamiento (del duro imperio de su servidumbre ).
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 7:11
Verse 11. In the day that thy walls are to be built] This refers to Jerusalem; the decree, to the purpose of God to deliver the people into captivity. "This shall be far removed." God having purposed their return, I cannot think, with some commentators, that this verse contains threatenings against Jerusalem, and not promises. See the first chapter of Haggai, where the subject is similar; and the restoration of Jerusalem is certainly what the prophet describes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. [In] the day that thy walls are to be built , etc.] These words are not spoken to the enemy, as some think; either the Chaldeans, the walls of whose city, Babylon, being demolished by the Persians, it would be a long day or time before they were rebuilt and when their power of sending their decrees abroad among the nations would be far off: or to the enemy that should think to build up their walls with the spoils of Israel, in the time of Gog and Magog, and when their decree determined over the nations and Israel would also be far off; but they are the words of the prophet to the church and people of God, comforting them with observing, that there would be a day when the walls of Jerusalem, and the temple, which would lie in ruins during their captivity, would be rebuilt; and which was fulfilled in the times of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah; and so the Targum, “that time the congregation of Israel shall be built;” and which had a further accomplishment, in a spiritual sense, in the first times of the Gospel, when the church of Christ was built up, and established in the world and will still have a greater completion in the latter day, when the tabernacle of David, or church of Christ, shall be raised that is fallen, and its breaches closed, and ruins repaired, ( Amos 9:11); [in] that day shall the decree be far removed ; which, as it literally respects Jerusalem, and the rebuilding of that after seventy years captivity, may signify either the decree of God concerning that captivity, which would then cease, according to the time fixed by it; or the cruel laws and edicts of the Babylonians, which should no more bind and press the Jews, and be as a heavy yoke upon them; those statutes, which were not good, that were given them. So the Targum, “at that time the decrees of the nations shall cease;” or the decree of Artaxerxes, forbidding and hindering the rebuilding of the city: but if the phrase “far removed” signifies its being divulged and spread far abroad, as it is interpreted by some; then it may refer to the decree of Cyrus for rebuilding the city and temple; and which was revived and confirmed by Darius Hystaspis, and by Darius Longimanus, and which was published everywhere; and by means of which the Jews from all parts were encouraged to come up to their own land, and proselytes with them; and which sense suits well with what follows: and as this, in a spiritual sense, may have regard to the church of Christ in Gospel times, it may signify the removal of human laws, traditions, rites, and ceremonies, respecting religious things, among the Gentiles, and their giving way to those of God and Christ; or the promulgation of the Gospel in all parts, called a decree, ( Psalm 2:6); because a revelation of the decrees of God, respecting the salvation of men, and to which it owes its efficacy; by means of which many would be brought to the church, and the kingdom of Christ be enlarged, and spread everywhere, as follows:
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - Those truly penitent for sin, will see great reason to be patient unde affliction. When we complain to the Lord of the badness of the times we ought to complain against ourselves for the badness of our hearts We must depend upon God to work deliverance for us in due time. We mus not only look to him, but look for him. In our greatest distresses, we shall see no reason to despair of salvation, if by faith we look to the Lord as the God of our salvation. Though enemies triumph and insult they shall be silenced and put to shame. Though Zion's walls may lon be in ruins, there will come a day when they shall be repaired. Israe shall come from all the remote parts, not turning back for discouragements. Though our enemies may seem to prevail against us, an to rejoice over us, we should not despond. Though cast down, we are no destroyed; we may join hope in God's mercy, with submission to his correction. No hinderances can prevent the favours the Lord intends for his church.
