George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Micah 4:13

Brass. Fear nothing. The Jews did not attack the army of Cambyses, (Ezechiel xxxviii. 21., and xxxix. 10.; Calmet) at least at first. (Haydock) --- But what God did for them is attributed to them. (Calmet) --- Immolate. Septuagint, "devote to the Lord their multitude, and," &c. Protestants, "gain," (Haydock) or what spoils they have taken. (Calmet)
