Why are you wailing? Why are you writhing like a woman in labor? Have you no king to help you? And your wise leader, has he perished? Groan and writhe in anguish, like a woman in hard labor, daughter of Zion, for now, you must leave the city and live out in the open field. Off to Babylon you must go! Yet, one day you will be rescued from there, for YAHWEH will deliver you from the clutches of your enemies. Many nations have now gathered to attack you. They say, “Let’s destroy Jerusalem so that we can gloat over capturing Zion.” But they do not know YAHWEH’s plans, and they do not understand his strategy: he has brought them together to punish them, like grain is brought to be beaten on the threshing floor to separate the good from the worthless. YAHWEH “Arise, start your threshing, daughter of Zion, for I will make you strong as a bull with iron horns and bronze hooves so that you can crush many peoples. And you must devote to YAHWEH what they have stolen and bring their wealth to me, the Lord of the whole earth.”

Micah’s prophetic ministry called attention to the oppression of the poor, the injustice of leaders, and the unfaithful messages of false prophets. The solution to Judah’s sinfulness is simple: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). Despite their sinfulness, Micah prophesies a time of peace when God will gather a remnant of His people to be ruled by a Shepherd-King born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5).
