Study note

Micah 1:2

  • Hear!: This word translates the same Hebrew term used in the Shema, which begins with the command “Hear” in Deuteronomy 6:4. It is a call to listen carefully and respond with obedience.

  • His holy temple: This refers to the Lord’s dwelling place in heaven, not to the corrupt temple in Jerusalem (Micah 1:2–3).
