Micah exposes the injustice of Judah and the righteousness and justice of Yahweh.
About one-third of the book indicts Israel and Judah for specific sins, including oppression, bribery among judges, prophets, and priests, exploitation of the powerless, coveteousness, cheating, violence, and pride.
Another third of Micah predicts the judgment that will come as a result of those sins.
The remaining third of the book is a message of hope and consolation.
God’s justice will triumph and the divine Deliverer will come.
True peace and justice will prevail only when Messiah reigns.[1]

Isaiah solemnly warned Judah of approaching judgment because of moral depravity, political corruption, social injustice, and especially spiritual idolatry.
Because the nation would not turn away from its sinful practice, Isaiah announced the ultimate overthrow of Judah.[1]

God Cares about the challenges and the injustices that people face, whether they are saved or not
Not all of the poor and suffering were probably faithful to Yahweh, but the actions were still wrong in his eyes
Matt 23:29-36
· The ability to listen to the fallen human instrument without devaluing the message
· Making correction or rebuke an issue of not being love, when it has everything to do with love
o Psalms 94:12
o Psalms 118:18
o Prov 3:11-12
o Jer 30:11
o Jer 46:28
o Heb 12:3-11
How to overcome this
1.
Accepting what is true vs looking for what is wrong
a.
If 99% is wrong and 1% is true, for righteousness sake embrace correction of the 1%.
2. Stop focusing on how much better you are versus others, that’s pride at is fullness.
a. Luke 18:9-14
3. It is never wrong to address unrighteousness
a.
It matters how you treat people and how you support the mistreatment of others.
