In the context of Micah, the prophet speaks of a time when those who oppose God's people will witness God's intervention. This reflects a common biblical theme where God ultimately reveals His power and justice to the nations (<a href="/psalms/23-5.htm">Psalm 23:5</a>, <a href="/isaiah/52-10.htm">Isaiah 52:10</a>).and will be covered with shame— Shame in the biblical context often signifies a loss of honor and status.
