Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then [she that is] mine enemy shall see [it],.... The Chaldeans and Edomites shall see people of the Jews rising out of their calamities, brought out of the darkness of their captivity in Babylon, and enjoying the light of peace and prosperity in their own land. Some editions of the Targum, and Jarchi and Kimchi, have, in their glosses on this verse and Micah 7:9, Rome, of whom they interpret this enemy, as Mr. Pocock observes; and so R. Elias d says the Targum is, "then shall Rome see"; by which they mean the Christians, in opposition to the Jews; otherwise it would not be amiss to interpret it of Rome Papal, or antichrist, in opposition to the church of God; seeing the antichristian party will see witnesses of Christ, slain for his sake, rise again, and ascend to heaven, or be brought into a glorious and comfortable state; see Revelation 11:12; and may be applied to any age of the church, and to any particular saints raised out of a state of darkness and affliction into a prosperous one, in the sight of their enemies, and in spite of them, to their great mortification; see Psalms 23:4;
and shame shall cover her which said unto me, where is the Lord thy God? as the Heathens; the Chaldeans, did to the Jews, Psalms 115:2; and which must be very cutting to them, as it was to David, Psalms 42:10; when they flouting and jeering said, where is thy God thou boastedst of, and didst put thy trust and confidence in, that he would deliver and save thee? what is become of him, and of thy confidence in him? The Targum is,
"where art thou that art redeemed by the Word of the Lord thy God?"
but when they shall see that the Lord God has returned unto them, and wrought salvation for them, they will be ashamed of their flouts and jeers; and by reason of their sad disappointment, add the change of things for the worse to them, who now will be brought into calamity and distress themselves:
mine eyes shall behold her; the enemy: their fall, as the Targum; being in a most despicable and ruinous condition, under the vengeance of the Almighty; and that with pleasure and satisfaction, not from a private spirit of revenge, but because of the glory of divine justice, which will be displayed in their righteous destruction; see Psalms 58:10;
now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets; that is, entirely conquered, and utterly destroyed; reduced to, the utmost meanness, and had in the greatest contempt: this was fulfilled when Babylon was taken by the Medea and Persians; and when the Edomites were conquered and brought into subjection to the Jews by the Maccabees; and will be the case of all the enemies of Christ and his church, of all the antichristian states, one day.
d In Tishbi, p. 227.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then - (And) she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is He, He of whom thou boastest, the Lord thy God? The cause of her gladness then is, that the blasphemies of the enemy of God were to cease. This was the bitterest portion of her cup, that they said daily, âWhere is now thy God? let Him come and save thee;â as though He could not, or as though He loved her not, and she vainly presumed on His help. Even when fallen, it was for His sake that she was hated, who seemed to be overcome in her: as He was hated in His Martyrs, and they asked, , âWhere is the God of the Christians?â Now the taunt was closed, and turned back on those who used it. The wheel, which they had turned against her, rolled round on themselves. They who had said, Let our eye look on Zion, now were ashamed that their hope had failed. They had longed to feed their sight on her miseries; Zion had her reverent gladness in gazing on the righteous hess of God. Babylon was trodden down by the Medes and Persians, and they whom she had let captive beheld it. Daniel was in the palace, when Belshazzar was slain.
The soul of one, who has known the chastening of God, cannot but read its own history here. The sinful soul is at once the object of the love of God and hath that about it which God hates. God hates the evil in us, even while lie loves us, being, or having been, evil. He forgives, but chastens. His displeasure is the channel of His goodpleasure. Nathan said to David, âThe Lord hath put away thy sinâ 2Sa 12:10, 2 Samuel 12:13, but also, âthe sword shall never depart from thy houseâ. It is part of His forgiveness to cleanse the soul with a âspirit of burningâ Isaiah 4:4. âIt seemeth to me,â says Jerome, âthat Jerusalem is every soul, which had been the temple of the Lord, and had had the vision of peace and the knowledge of Scripture, and which afterward, overcome by sins, hath fallen captive by its own consent, parting from that which is right in the sight of God, and allowing itselfâ to sink among the pleasures of the world.â
So then âcaptive, and tortured, she saith to Babylon, that is, the confusion of this world and the power of the enemy which ruleth over the world, and sin who lordeth it over her, Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I shall arise;â Dionysius: âfrom sin by repentance, and from tribulation by the consolation of the Holy Spirit, who, after weeping, poureth in joy. âFor the Lord helpeth them that are fallenâ Psalms 146:8, and saith by the prophet, âShall they fall and not ariseâ? Jeremiah 8:4. and, âI have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. If I walk in darkness, the Lord is my lightâ! Ezekiel 33:11. For although âthe rulers of the darkness of this worldâ Ephesians 6:12 have deceived me, and I âsit in darkness and in the shadow of deathâ Psalms 107:10, and âmy feet stumble upon the dark mountainsâ Jeremiah 13:16, yet âto them who sit in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung upâ Isaiah 9:2, and âlight shineth in darknessâ John 1:5, and âthe Lord is my light, and my salvation; whom then shall I fearâ? Psalms 27:1. and I will speak to Him and will say, âThy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my pathâ Psalms 119:105 âHe draweth me from the darkness of ignorance and from the black night of sin, and giveth a clear view of future bliss, and brighteneth the very inmost soul within.â
Dionysius: âEven if a mist have come upon me and I have been in darkness, I too shall find the light, that is, Christ; and the Sun of Righteousness arising on my mind shall make it white.â I will betty patiently, yet gladly, the indignation of the Lord, (Dionysius): âall adversity, trial, tribulation, persecution, which can happen in this life;â because I have sinned against Him, âand such is the enormity of sin, offered to the Majesty and dishonoring the Holiness of God, and such punishment doth it deserve in the world to come, that if we weigh it well, we shall bear with joy whatever adversity can befall us.â Cyril: âFor although for a short time I be out of His Presence, and be; âgiven to an undistinguishing mindâ Romans 1:28, yet, seeing I suffer this rejection justly, I will bear the judgment, for I am not chastened in vain.â âAll chastening for the present seemeth not to be joyous but grievous, nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousncss unto them who are exercised therebyâ Hebrews 12:11.
Jerome: âThe soul, feeling that it hath sinned, and hath the wounds of sins and is living in dead flesh and needs the cautery, says firmly to the Physician, âBurn my flesh, cut open my wounds, all my imposthumes. It was my fault, that I was wounded; be it my pain, to endure such sufferings and to regain health.â And the true Physician shews to her, when whole, the cause of His treatment, and that He did rightly what He did. Then after these sufferings, the soul, being brought out of outer darkness, saith, I shall behold His Righteousness, and say, âThou, O Lord, art upright; Rightous are Thy judgments, O Godâ Psalms 119:137. But if Christ is âmade unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemptionâ 1 Corinthians 1:30, he who, after the indignation of God, saith that He shall see His Righteousness, promiseth to himself the sight of Christ.â Cyril: âThen, having considered in her mind the grace of the righteousness in Christ and the overthrow of sin, the soul, in full possession of herself, crieth out, Mine enemy shall see it, etc. For, after that Christ came unto us, justifying sinners through faith, the mouth of the ungodly One is stopped, and the Author of sin is put to shame. He hath lost his rule over us, and sin is trodden down, âlike mire in the streetsâ, being subjected to the feet of the saints. But the blotting-out of sin is the Day of Christ.â Jerome: âAnd, because the end of all punishment is the beginning of good,â God saith to the poor, penitent, tossed, soul, âthe walls of virtues shall be built up in thee, and thou shalt be guarded on all sides, and the rule of thine oppressors shall be far removed, and thy King and God shall come unto thee, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.â Dionysius: âAll this shall be most fully seen in the Day of Judgment.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Micah 7:10. Then she that is mine enemy — This may refer particularly to the city of Babylon.
Shall she be trodden down — Literally fulfilled in the sackage of that city by the Persians, and its consequent total ruin. It became as mire; its walls, formed of brick kneaded with straw and baked in the sun, becoming exposed to the wet, dissolved, so that a vestige of the city remains not, except a few bricks digged from under the rubbish, several pieces of which now lie before me, and show the perishing materials of which the head of this proud empire was composed.
