Matthew Poole and continuators on Micah 7:11

11 In the day that thy walls are to be built , in that day shall the decree be far removed .

O Ierusalem, the dayes shall certainly come, that thy Walls overthrown and rased by the Babylonians shall be rebuilt.

Which was first in part fulfilled under Cyrus, but more fully under Darius Hystaspis, and Darius Longimanus who commission'd Nehemiah to repair the walls of Ierusalem.

Either the Decree of Artaxerx[illegible: 1 letter]s, who is also called Cambyses, and who forbad the building of the Temple, or else the Decree of Darius Hystaspis reviving Cyrus his Decree for the return of all the Iews that would return.

For ever cease if referr'd to Cambyses Decree, this shall no more hinder, or else shall be dispersed far and wide among all the Provinces, if you mean Cyrus Decree that all may return.

These words are variously expounded, but the plainest, and most suiting with the Letter and History to me seems to be this.
