Adam Clarke, on Mic 7:16

“The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.”

“The nations shall see and be confounded - Whether the words in these verses (Mic 7:15-17) be applied to the return from the Babylonish captivity, or to the prosperity of the Jews under the Maccabees, they may be understood as ultimately applicable to the final restoration of this people, and their lasting prosperity under the Gospel.”
