Micah 1 · Grade 3
Hear, O Earth
Read the Story
Micah 1:1 says this is Yahweh's word that came to Micah of Morasheth. It came in the days of three kings of Judah: Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
Micah calls out to all peoples and to the earth. He says the Lord Yahweh is a witness from his holy temple. Yahweh is coming down. The mountains melt under him like wax before the fire.
Why is God coming? It is because of the sins of the house of Israel. Samaria and Jerusalem had turned away. Micah does not cheer about this. He says he will lament and wail. He grieves because the trouble has come to the gate of his people.
