Verse 5 trust (See Scofield "Psalms 2:12") . Verse 7 Therefore Micah 7:7-20 is, primarily, the confession and intercession of the prophet, who identifies himself with Israel. Cf. Daniel 9:3-19. Intercession was a test of the prophetic office ; Jeremiah 27:18; Genesis 20:7 But Micah's prayer voices also the heart exercise of the remnant in the last days. Such is prophecy, an intermingling of the near and the far. (Cf) ; Psalms 22:1; Matthew 27:46. Verse 18 remnant (See Scofield "Jeremiah 15:21")
