Micah 2 · Grade 4

The Breaker Goes Before Them

Name Date

Read and Think

Micah announces woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice it, because they have the power. They covet fields and seize them, and they take away houses. They oppress a man and his heritage, the land his family was meant to keep.

Yahweh says he is planning a disaster against these people, and they will not walk proudly. The people told the prophets to stop. They said, don't prophesy about these things. Micah says they would rather listen to a prophet who promised them wine and strong drink. God's people had begun to act like enemies, taking robes from travelers and pushing families out of their homes.

The chapter ends with a promise. Yahweh will surely assemble Jacob and gather the remnant of Israel. He will put them together as a flock in the middle of their pasture. He who breaks open the way goes up before them. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
