Notes

Micah 2:6

There was a weak attempt to silence a true prophet.
they preach: They believed that exile and other disasters could not happen to them, but they were mistaken.

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).
