Micah in my nutshell

 

Dear Reader,

I think the writing about Micah in Wikipedia is a good way too get a summery of the book. I have chosen the verse  that  points to the birth of Jesus, and Micah 7 where there is  hope and salvation after judgment. I’m sure you  have other choices.

Sincerely yours, Ida

Micah 5:

² “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    though you are small among the clans of Judah,
out of you will come for me
    one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
    from ancient times.”

Micah 7:

¹⁸ Who is a God like you,
    who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
    of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
    but delight to show mercy.
¹⁹ You will again have compassion on us;
    you will tread our sins underfoot
    and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
²⁰ You will be faithful to Jacob,
    and show love to Abraham,
as you pledged on oath to our ancestors
    in days long ago.
