Micah is the prophecy of the fourth in the great quartet of eighth-century B.C. prophets, with Amos, Hosea, and Isaiah, who preach against the idolatrous and unjust nations of their generation. Micah’s message is stern and uncompromising; judgment is to come soon for Judah.

Micah 2

2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
