Micah 7:9

“I will bear the indignation of the Lord, etc.] The Targum prefaces these words with “Jerusalem saith;” and they are the words of the prophet, in the name of Jerusalem or the church, resolving in the strength of divine grace to bear the present affliction, which had at least some appearance of divine indignation in it; not against the persons of God’s people, who are always the objects of his love, and towards whom there is no fury in him; but against their sins, which are displeasing and abominable to him; and this is not in a vindictive way, for such indignation they could never bear; nor can any creature stand before it, or bear up under it; and, besides, Christ has bore the wrath and…”

“bear--patiently. the indignation of the Lord--His punishment inflicted on me (Lam 3:39). The true penitent "accepts the punishment of his iniquity" (Lev 26:41, Lev 26:43); they who murmur against God, do not yet know their guilt (Job 40:4-5). execute judgment for me--against my foe. God's people plead guilty before God; but, in respect to their human foes, they are innocent and undeserving of their foes' injuries. bring me forth to the light--to the temporal and spiritual redemption. I shall behold his righteousness--His gracious faithfulness to His promises (Psa 103:17).”

“I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him - This is the temper of all penitents, when stricken by God, or under chastisement from Him. “It is the Lord, let Him, do what seemeth Him good” 1 Samuel 3:18. “So let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him, curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?” 2 Samuel 16:10. “He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope” Lamentations 3:29. The penitent owns the just sentence of God, and, knowing that he deserves far more than God inflicts, is thankful to endure it, “until He remove it, until He plead my cause rend execute judgment for me”, that is, until God Himself think the…”

“Plead - Against mine enemy, now he pleads his own cause against me. His righteousness - The truth and riches of his promised salvation. Micah 7:10”

“7:9 I have sinned: The prophet and other godly people recognize their own failure and culpability, yet trust in the Lord for redemption. • The Lord’s righteousness brings salvation and rescue for his people.”

“bear: Lev 26:41; Sa1 3:18; Sa2 16:11, Sa2 16:12, Sa2 24:17; Job 34:31, Job 34:32; Lam 1:18; Lam 3:39-42; Luk 15:18, Luk 15:19; Heb 12:6, Heb 12:7 until: Sa1 24:15, Sa1 25:39, Sa1 26:10; Psa 7:6, Psa 43:1; Jer 50:17-20, Jer 50:33, Jer 50:34, Jer 51:35, Jer 51:36; Rev 6:10, Rev 6:11, Rev 18:20 he will: Job 23:10; Psa 37:6; Mal 3:18; Co1 4:5; Th2 1:5-10; Ti2 4:8 Micah 7:10”

“"The wrath of Jehovah shall I bear, for I have sinned against Him, till He shall fight my fight, and secure my right. He will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold His righteousness. Mic 7:10. And may my enemy see it, and shame cover her, who hath said to me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes will see it; now will she be for a treading down, like mire of the streets." Confidence in the help of the Lord flows from the consciousness, that the wretchedness and sufferings are a merited punishment for the sins. This consciousness and feeling generate patience and hope: patience to bear the wrath of God manifesting itself in the sufferings; hope that the sufferings, as inflicted by the…”
