Micah's prophecies focus on themes of social justice, the judgment of Israel and Judah, and the hope of restoration. He is known for his strong denunciation of the corruption and idolatry of his time, as well as his famous declaration of what God requires: "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8, BSB).
