This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Notwithstanding, Heb. And, but well rendered here Not-withstanding, viz. these promises of restitution, and gathering in the dispersed Jews, &c., which took not place till more than two hundred years after they were first made by the Lord to his people; accounting thus, one hundred and thirty-three years from the captivating of Samaria to the captivating of Jerusalem, seventy years the Babylonish captivity lasted, to which add the years to Darius Hystaspes ere the temple was built, and the years to Darius Longimanus ere the city was built and the walls repaired, it will amount to a considerable sum of years.
The land, of Canaan, shall be desolate; laid so by Shalmaneser, Sennacherib, and Nebuchadnezzar in the ruins of this last seventy years.
Because of them, the sinful Jews, that dwell therein; which now in Micah’s time did, or hereafter shall dwell in it, in Canaan.
For the fruit of their doings; as punishment for their evil doings.
