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 7

7:4 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
