Micah 2

Micah 2:1

II. THE DOOM OF THE WEALTHY OPPRESSORS (2:1-11)2:1-5 The reasons for the judgment are recited here. The rich people dispossessed the poor of their houses and land by violence. As a result, this property would be taken from the rich by a foreign invader, and they would have nothing left. 2:6, 7 The people told Micah not to prophesy such unpleasant things because disgrace would not overtake them. But Micah replied that they should not say, “Is the Spirit of the LORD restricted? Are these works of judgment His doings? Do not His words do good to him who walks uprightly?“2:8-11 By their sins, His people had become like an enemy of Jehovahrobbing the peaceful of their clothes and driving women and children out of their . . . houses. They should arise and depart into exile, for the land they polluted would destroy them. Any false prophet who advocated wine and strong drink would be quickly accepted by this people.

Micah 2:12

III. THE PROMISE OF RESTORATION (2:12, 13)After the judgment, God would gather the remnant of Israel back from exile. A breaker (the LORD) would break down anything that would hinder their restoration.
