Micah 7:11

Here the soliloquy of believing and repentant Israel ceases, and a prophetic announcement begins.

In the day that thy walls Rather, There cometh a day to build thy walls. The image is that of a vineyard, the walls of which have been thrown down (as Isaiah 5:5). The word rendered -walls" is different from that which means the wall of a city.

shall the decree be far removed But what decree? Rather, shall the bound be afar off, i.e. the boundaries of the land of Israel shall be widely extended. Comp. Isaiah 33:17 -thine eyes shall behold a land of distances" (a widely extended territory).
