Micah prophesied to a people who were busy taking advantage of each other. They would devise ways of ruining their neighbors for their own profit – while still lying in bed in the morning. Then they would get up and do their evil deeds. Micha told them that God was doing the same thing to them. They would face disaster, and their children who survived would go into exile. They told him not to preach such things. They wanted a preacher who would tell them that wine and strong drink were their destinies.
LORD, give us ears to hear your whole word before it is too late for our generation.
