George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Micah 4:6

Halteth, as the synagogue did, (3 Kings xviii. 21.) bringing nothing to perfection, (Hebrews vii. 19.) while the Gentiles were abandoned to idolatry. From both Christ chose his Church, Acts xxi. 20., &c. (Calmet) --- The Jews will be at last converted. (Worthington)
