11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
11 I will destroy the cities of your land and tear down all your strongholds.
11 and I will cut off the cities of your land and throw down all your strongholds;
11 I'll dismantle military posts and level your fortifications.
11 I will cut off the cities of your land And throw down all your strongholds.
11 I will tear down your walls and demolish your defenses.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Micah 5:11
Commentary on Micah 5:7-15
(Read Micah 5:7-15)
The remnant of Israel, converted to Christ in the primitive times, were among many nations as the drops of dew, and were made instruments in calling a large increase of spiritual worshippers. But to those who neglected or opposed this salvation, they would, as lions, cause terror, their doctrine condemning them. The Lord also declares that he would cause not only the reformation of the Jews, but the purification of the Christian church. In like manner shall we be assured of victory in our personal conflicts, as we simply depend upon the Lord our salvation, worship him, and serve him with diligence.
