Meaning

The example of the prophet (1:8) and the repeated wordplays associating Judean towns and cities with grief, shame and lamentation (1:10–15) show that the announcement of judgment against Judah should produce profound distress in Micah’s audience. Implicit and explicit condemnation of its pride, self-sufficiency and expectation that its sins would not be punished also encourage repentance and humility before God, whose threat of exile implies that these behaviours and beliefs have put in jeopardy his relationship with his chosen people.
