Chapters in Micah

1. Micah 1: The LORD Comes to Judge Samaria

   Micah of Moresheth, prophesying under Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, summons all peoples to listen as the LORD comes down to judge. Samaria will be ruined for its idolatry, and Micah mourns as the disaster spreads through the towns of Judah to Jerusalem and ends in exile.

2. Micah 2: Land Grabbers and False Preachers

   Micah condemns powerful men who scheme to seize their neighbors' fields and homes, and the LORD plans a disaster that will take their own land. Opponents tell the true prophets to stop warning, and the people would welcome a lying preacher, yet the LORD promises to gather a remnant and lead them out as King.

3. Micah 3: Corrupt Leaders and Zion's Ruin

   Micah accuses Israel's rulers of hating justice and preying on the people, and he denounces prophets whose messages depend on payment. Filled with the LORD's Spirit, he exposes judges, priests, and prophets who take bribes yet feel safe, and he warns that Jerusalem and its temple hill will become ruins.

4. Micah 4: Nations Stream to the LORD's Mountain

   Micah foresees a day when the nations stream to the LORD's exalted mountain to learn His ways, weapons become farm tools, and war ends. The LORD will bring the lame and outcast together as a remnant and reign over them, and Zion, though exiled to Babylon, will be redeemed while gathered enemies face judgment.

5. Micah 5: A Ruler From Bethlehem

   With Jerusalem under siege, Micah foretells a ruler from small Bethlehem whose origins reach back to eternity, who will shepherd God's people in the LORD's strength and bring them peace. The remnant will be like dew and as strong as a lion amid the nations, and God will purge His people of horses, sorcery, and idols.

6. Micah 6: What the LORD Requires

   The LORD brings a legal case against Israel, recalling how He freed them from Egypt and protected them from Balaam's curse. Rather than lavish sacrifices, He asks for justice, mercy, and humble obedience, then condemns cheating merchants, violence, and the ways of Omri and Ahab.

7. Micah 7: The God Who Pardons and Restores

   Micah mourns a society so corrupt that even families turn on one another, yet he resolves to wait for God, who will raise His fallen people. The book ends with a prayer for God to shepherd His flock and praise for the God who pardons sin and keeps His oath to Abraham and Jacob.
