Mic 7:12 · Douay-Rheims
“In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.”
On this verse:
“It is a day, and he shall come up to you—The prophet says: That day that you deride, saying that it has been nullified and gone away - that day is guarded and preserved, and has not become nullified. The enemy shall come up to you to destroy you. from Assyria—which is the first of those who harmed us. and the fortified cities—I.e., and until the fortified cities. And Jonathan renders (as follows): the great dark mountains. and the sea from the west—And those dwelling near the Mediterranean Sea, which is in the west. and the dwellers of the mountain Heb. וְהַר הָהָר, like יושְׁבֵי הָהָר. But Jonathan did not translate in that manner. [11] The day to build your walls—The prophet informs Israel that there is a day preserved and prepared [for them] to build the walls of their ruins. on that day the decree shall distance itself—And the statute of the decrees of the nations shall be nullified from upon you. [12] It is a day, and shall come up to you—At that time, the exiles of Israel shall be gathered in from Assyria.”
