Notes

Micah 3:4

Then: Even after oppressing the Lord's people, the leaders selfishly asked the Lord for help.

Micah 3:1–4

Micah strongly criticized the leaders of Israel because they were responsible for the people's well-being. The horrors described here show the fears of people under attack (compare Deuteronomy 28:53; 2 Kings 6:29).

Micah 3:1–5:15

This message accuses the evil leaders who harmed God's people. It contrasts them with a vision of God's kingdom and a righteous king's rule. After facing judgment and exile, a purified Israel would return and receive God's blessings.
