Verse Micah 7:14. Feed thy people with thy rod] בשבטך beshibtecha, "with thy crook." The shepherd's crook is most certainly designed, as the word flock immediately following shows. No rod of correction or affliction is here intended; nor does the word mean such.
Solitarily] They have been long without a shepherd or spiritual governor.
In the midst of Carmel] Very fruitful in vines.
Bashan and Gilead] Proverbially fruitful in pasturages.
