The Book ofMicah
Old Testament · Book 33 of 66 · 7 chapters · 105 verses
Micah alternates judgment and hope with a prophet's precision — predicting both Jerusalem's fall and Bethlehem as Messiah's birthplace seven centuries early. His summary of true religion is unmatched: act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.
