Matthew Poole and continuators on Micah 5:15

15 And I will execute vengeance r in anger and fury upon the heathen , such as they have not heard .

God speaks to our capacity, he will proceed, or act as the Heb. word signifieth, He is supream judge, to whom vengeance belongeth, and when he hath passed the sentence, and his instruments execute it, he takes it to himself; so when the Babylonians revenged the wrong by the Assyrian done to the Iews; and when Cyrus with his Persians and Medes avenged the injuries of Babylon, this prophesie was partly fulfilled, and in succeeding times it was farther fulfilled, and is now fulfilling, and so will be, until the final destruction of the wicked.

This spoken after the manner of man; it includes the greatness of Gods [illegible: 1 letter]ust displeasure, and the effects of it, which are resembled to what we do when furiously angry, act with utmost strength, and in the most terrible manner we can; so God will with as great severity and terrour as flesh and blood can bear proceed against these Heathens.

Literally the Nations under the Ass[illegible: 1 letter]rian Monarchy first, next the Nations under the Babylonish Kingdom in the full import of the words. All the Nations that are Enemies to the Lord, to his Christ, and to his peculiar people, who know not God, nor obey the Gospel.

With unparalleld terrour, and so they shall be made warning pieces to others.
