Notes

Micah 2:7–10

Mistreating their fellow Israelites was like attacking the Lord and his prophet. The people were at fault, not Micah's inspired and righteous message.

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).
