SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:4
Y cada uno se sentará debajo de su vid y debajo de su higuera, y no habrá quien amedrente; porque la boca del SEÑOR de los ejércitos habló.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 4:4
Verse 4. Under his vine and under his fig tree] A proverbial expression, indicative of perfect peace, security, and rural comfort. See on Isa. ii. 1. This verse is an addition to the prophecy as it stands in Isaiah. See on "ver. 1".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine, and under his fig tree , etc.] A proverbial phrase, expressive of the greatest tranquillity, security, and enjoyment of property; (see 1 Kings 4:25); when persons need not keep within their walled towns and cities, and lack themselves up in their houses, but may sit down in their gardens, fields, and vineyards, and enjoy the fruit thereof; as the Targum interprets it, “under the fruit of his vine, and under, the fruit of his fig tree.” It was usual for persons in the eastern countries to sit under vines and fig trees to read, meditate, pray, or converse together, where they grow very large, as were their vines; and even with us they are frequently raised and carried over supporters, so as to be sat under; and of fig trees, we frequently read in Jewish writings of their being very large, and of their going up to them, and praying on the top of them; and of sitting under them, and studying in the law there. So one of the Rabbins says f135 , he went up into his mustard tree, as one goes up to the top of a fig tree; and it is said f136 , he that prays on the top of an olive tree, or on the top of a fig tree must come down, and pray below; and again f137 , R. Jacob and his companions were fasting, studying in the law, under a certain fig tree; and sometimes they speak of all these together, of sitting under olives, and under vines, and under fig trees, and studying in the words of the law f138 ; (see John 1:48). This is to be understood, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi explain it, of all men; not of the Israelites only, but of all nations, since there will be no more war any where; hence it follows: and none shall make [them] afraid ; the enemies of God’s people will be no more, neither Turk nor pope, eastern or western antichrist, beast or, false prophet; wherefore, in those days of the Messiah, Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, even all the spiritual Israel of God, Jews and Gentiles; there shall be none to hurt in the holy mountain of the Lord, or any violence and oppression, wasting and destruction, anywhere; (see Jeremiah 23:5 Isaiah 11:9 60:18); for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken [it] ; who speaks nothing but truth, and who is able and faithful to perform what he has spoken; and therefore all this may be depended on.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - The nations have not yet so submitted to the Prince of Peace, as to beat their swords into ploughshares, nor has war ceased. But very precious promises these are, relating to the gospel church, which wil be more and more fulfilled, for He is faithful that has promised. Ther shall be a glorious church for God set up in the world, in the las days, in the days of the Messiah. Christ himself will build it upon rock. The Gentiles worshipped their idol gods; but in the period spoke of, the people will cleave to the Lord with full purpose of heart, an delight in doing his will. The word "halteth," describes those who wal not according to the Divine word. The collecting the captives from Babylon was an earnest of healing, purifying, and prospering the church; and the reign of Christ shall continue till succeeded by the everlasting kingdom of heaven. Let us stir up each other to attend the ordinances of God, that we may learn his holy ways, and walk in them receiving the law from his hands, which, being written in our hearts by his Spirit, may show our interest in the Redeemer's righteousness.
