John Trapp on Micah 7:13

Verſe 13. Notwithſtanding the land ſhall be deſolate] Underſtand it, not of the land of Caldea, as A lapide doth; but of Judea, which muſt be deſolated before the coming of Chriſt in the fleſh. And this is here foretold. 1 Leſt the impenitent, by miſapplying the former proimſes, ſhould dream of impunity, (ſaeculi laetitia est impunita nequitia) and 2. Leſt the godly, becauſe of this deſolation ſhortly to enſue,Aug. ſhould deſpair of the former promiſes.

Becauſe of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings] What their doings were, and what the fruit thereof, ſee Ier. 9.3, 4, 5, &c & 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. This Prophet could not but tell them of both, though hee had ſmall thank for his love and labour: even as little as Moſes had of that perverſe people in the wilderneſſe. His ſervice among the Jews was in ſome ſenſe like that of Manlius Torquatus among the Romans: who gave it over, ſaying Neither can I bear their manners, nor they my government. Ieremy once thought to have done ſo, chap. 20.9. but might not. He lived to ſee this prophecy of Micah fulfilled: and was afterwards carried down to Egypt by his ungratefull countreymen; where alſo (for a reward of his 41. years unceſſant pains in the Miniſtery as a Prophet) they ſtoned him to death,Bucholc. Chronol. who had been a brazen wall to his countrey, ejuſque commodis adangendis natus, and a common bleſſing.
