Chapter by chapter
1Micah announces God’s judgment against Samaria and Judah, then mourns the devastation that will reach their towns and children.2Micah exposes planned oppression and resistance to God’s word, announces loss of land, and closes with YHWH gathering his remnant.3Micah exposes leaders who exploit God’s people and claim his protection, announcing judgment that will reach Jerusalem itself.4Micah sets Zion’s coming exile and hostile nations within YHWH’s promise to gather the outcast, reign, and establish peace.5Micah sets the promise of a shepherd-ruler beside deliverance from enemies and God’s removal of his people’s defenses and idols.6Micah 6 sets God’s past faithfulness beside Israel’s injustice and declares that costly offerings cannot replace the obedience he requires.7Micah moves from public corruption and confessed guilt toward hope in the God who judges, restores, and pardons.
