Social justice is at the heart of this brief book. Though considered one of the minor prophets, Micah will later be quoted by Jeremiah, and his prophecy will be connected to Jesus in the New Testament book of Matthew.Micah emphasizes the need for humility and speaks strongly against hypocrisy and corrupt leadership. Throughout the 7 chapters of Micah, the prophet insists that God’s people must do more than worship—they must embody God’s character through justice and mercy and through humble faithfulness.
