Jeremiah 26:19
"“Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’"
Key Reflection
Micah the Morashtite prophesied during the reign of King Hezekiah in Judah, warning the people that Jerusalem would suffer severe judgment. The vision described a future when Zion and its capital city would be destroyed to such an extent that they would resemble fields plowed for planting or abandoned high places turned into forest land. For the original audience, these images would have conveyed a dire message of impending doom, emphasizing the severity of their disobedience and the consequences if they did not repent.
