According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt - God answers the prayer, beginning with its closing words . Micah had prayed, “Turn Thy people like the days of old; “God answers, “like the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt.” Micah had said, in the name of his people, “I shall behold His Righteousness; God answers, I will make him to behold marvelous things” .

Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage
on Micah 7:14-15
The prophet turns to prayer, asking the Lord himself to feed his people with the shepherd's rod, the flock now scattered to graze again in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old, the fertile lands lost to Assyria's advance named as the pasture prayed for. Wesley reads dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel as the picture of a flock without a shepherd's care, exposed rather than gathered. Verse 15 answers the prayer in the Lord's own first person, according to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things, a new exodus promised in the vocabulary of the first one. Clarke reads the marvellous things as an open promise rather than one tied to a single fulfillment, language deliberately large enough to gather more than one deliverance under it.

Hear what is even more wonderful, that the hidden and veiled mysteries of the ancient books are in some degree revealed by the ancient prophets. For Micah the prophet spoke thus. "According to the days of your coming out of Egypt will I show unto him marvelous things." … Our sins are overwhelmed and extinguished in baptism, just as the Egyptians were drowned in the sea. "He does not retain his anger forever because he delights in steadfast love.… You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."
(Verse 14 and following) Feed your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest of Carmel. They will graze in Bashan and Gilead as in ancient times, as in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show (or have shown) them wonders. The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hands over their mouths; their ears will become deaf. They will lick the dust like serpents; they will tremble from their hiding places.

Their deliverance out of Babylon shall be a work of wonder and grace not inferior to their deliverance out of Egypt, nay, it shall eclipse the lustre of that ( Jer. xvi. 14, 15 ), much more shall the work of redemption by Christ. Note, God's former favours to his church are patterns of future favours, and shall again be copied out as there is occasion.
All their sins shall be cast there without exception, for when God forgives sin he forgives all. (4.) He will perfect that which concerns us, and with this good work will do all that for us which our case requires and which he has promised (

thy . . . him--both referring to Israel. So in Mic 7:19 the person is changed from the first to the third, "us . . . our . . . their." Jehovah here answers Micah's prayer in Mic 7:14, assuring him, that as He delivered His people from Egypt by miraculous power, so He would again "show" it in their behalf (Jer 16:14, 15).

According to the days - This is the answer to the prophet’s prayer; and God says he will protect, save, defend, and work miracles for them in their restoration, such as he wrought for their fathers in their return from Egypt to the promised land.
