Notes

Micah 7:10

Where is the LORD your God?: This question was spoken as a taunt. It mocked God and those who trusted in him.

God had promised that he would always be with his people and their leaders (Genesis 46:3–4; Exodus 3:12). These taunts dishonored God’s name. Because of this, God would act to defend his honor and show his faithfulness (compare Ezekiel 20:9; 36:19–26).

Micah 7:7–10

During a difficult time, Micah prays with a psalm expressing hope and trust in the Lord (compare Habakkuk 2:4; 3:16–18).

Micah 7:1–20

Hopeless deception and corruption filled God’s people (Micah 7:1–6). Because of this, Micah mourned their condition and turned to the Lord for help (Micah 7:7–10).

Even so, God’s mercy would triumph. Israel would be restored by the Lord (Micah 7:11–13). God’s mercy, compassion, and unfailing love would prevail in the end (Micah 7:14–20).
