The World English Bible (WEB): Micah

"The World English Bible (WEB): Micah" by Anonymous is a prophetic book written in the 8th century BCE. The prophet Micah denounces unjust leaders and defends the poor against the wealthy and powerful during a time of Assyrian conquest. Through alternating warnings of doom and expressions of hope, the text condemns idolatry, oppression, and corruption while envisioning a future world at peace centered on Zion. The book includes laments, prophecies, and a dramatic "covenant lawsuit" in which God confronts Israel for breaking their sacred agreement.
