‏ Micah 7:7

7. Therefore I will look unto the Lord--as if no one else were before mine eyes. We must not only "look unto the Lord," but also "wait for Him." Having no hope from man (Mi 7:5, 6), Micah speaks in the name of Israel, who herein, taught by chastisement (Mi 7:4) to feel her sin (Mi 7:9), casts herself on the Lord as her only hope," in patient waiting (La 3:26). She did so under the Babylonian captivity; she shall do so again hereafter when the spirit of grace shall be poured on her (Zec 12:10-13).
