Micah spoke out against a corrupt leadership. The priests, prophets and political heads were stirring up the people to war against those who refused to give them tribute or bribes. As such, they were devouring their people. The greed and violence was so prominent that the LORD had determined to plow the whole city of Jerusalem like a field. God cannot stand it when people who call themselves by his name take advantage of each other for their own profit. He will judge them.
LORD, forgive us for making choices on the basis of selfish gain. Teach us to deal honorably with each other because we are yours.
