Notes

Micah 2:11

These wicked individuals enjoyed listening to lies from their favorite prophets who promised good times (compare Jeremiah 28:8–9). False prophets assured Israel and Judah that they could avoid judgment. When judgment arrived, they offered no comfort.

Micah 1:2–2:13

This message of judgment focuses on key themes in Micah's prophecies. It shows God's decision to judge his people and send them into exile (Micah 1:16; 2:4–5). However, it ends with the Lord's promise to save a small group from exile (Micah 2:12–13).
