Rashi, on Mic 7:17

“They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.”

“as those who crawl on the earth—They are snakes, which crawl on their bellies on the dust of the earth. They shall quake from their imprisonment—They shall quake because of the extreme narrowness of their imprisonment and the confinement of their captivity.”
