Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Mic 7:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.”
On this verse:
“Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate - This should be translated in the preter tense, "Though the land Had been desolate;" that is, the land of Israel had been desolate during the captivity, which captivity was the "fruit of the evil doings of them that had dwelt therein."”
