What does it say?
Micah pronounced woe on the Israelite oppressors. He declared that the Lord would repay evil for evil, but the people told him not to prophesy this way.
What does it mean?
God miraculously delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt. He gave them freedom, victory, wealth, and a land in which to dwell. Rather than use these generous gifts to care for one another, the wealthy, elite Israelites began to defraud fellow Israelites of their possessions and land in violation of the Mosaic Covenant. Their behavior revealed greedy, materialistic hearts – a problem in God’s people that had to be addressed. His judgment would bring recognition of their sin, cleansing the people and their land.
How should I respond?
God has given each of us physical and spiritual gifts. Perhaps you have a position of influence, or you’ve been blessed with material wealth. Maybe you have a personal testimony that God can use to minister to others. What resources and blessings has the Lord given to you? How can you use those resources to care for a fellow believer or show God’s love to an unbeliever? How might you be misusing what God has given? Think and pray, asking God to reveal ways you can use the overflow of your gifts to care for others, and then follow His leading today!

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).
