Micah 1:3-4

GOD hates pride and arrogance especially in those who claim to be His. He hears the cries of those in need and He acts in their defense. Knowing that He corrects those He loves we need to be aware of His words of warning to us and our relationship to the world.

 Everything good comes from God…it is His right to take it away.

 A proverb was a taunt song. God would take the property rights from those who had seized them illegally and give them to people who were even more reprobate than they were. NKJ Bible.

The mistreatment of others has given these evildoers the impression that they are better than those upon whom they prey. Faithlife Bible.

Micah 2:3–4 (NKJV)

³ Therefore thus says the Lord:

“Behold, against this family I am devising disaster,

From which you cannot remove your necks;

Nor shall you walk haughtily,

For this is an evil time.

⁴ In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,

And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying:

‘We are utterly destroyed!

He has changed the heritage of my people;

How He has removed it from me!

To a turncoat He has divided our fields.’ ”

Amos 5:13 (NKJV)

¹³ Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time,

For it is an evil time.

Psalm 72:12–14 (NKJV)

12 For He will deliver the needy when he cries,

The poor also, and him who has no helper.

13 He will spare the poor and needy,

And will save the souls of the needy.

14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;

And precious shall be their blood in His sight.
