Micah 2: God Gathers His Flock

Micah speaks against people who plan evil at night and take fields and houses from others. They did not want to hear prophets warn them. But the chapter ends with hope. Yahweh promises to gather the remnant of Israel like sheep in a pasture. Their king will go before them, with Yahweh at their head.
