Micah 3:1

"Micah."

Key Reflection

In Micah 3:1, "Micah" at the beginning of the verse likely refers to the prophet himself speaking out against the leaders and rulers of Israel for failing to uphold justice. This sets the stage for his call to these leaders to listen to his message about righteousness and accountability.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And I said -God’s love for us is the great incitement, constrainer, vivifier of His creature’s love. Micah had just spoken of God’s love of Israel; how He would gather them into one fold under One Shepherd, guard them, lead them, remove all difficulties before them, be Himself their Head and enable them to follow Him. He turns then to them. These are God’s doings; this, God has in store for you hereafter. Even when mercy itself shall require chastisement, He doth not cast off forever. The desolation is but the forerunner of future mercy. What then do ye? The prophet appeals to them, class by class.
