How can I explain Micah chapter3 verses9-12 to others in simple terms?
We know very little about the prophet, Micah. His book dates to around 722 to 701 BCE, after the Assyrian conquest of Israel in 722 BCE, although the text was revised and expanded after the fall of Jerusalem, and perhaps during the time of rebuilding (485 BCE and later), to reflect changed circumstances. Verses 3:9-11 are believed to be from the original text, and so probably is verse 3:12. In this passage, Micah is criticising the rulers and priests of Judah. He says they abhorred justice and perverted equity, committed murder and made Jerusalem a place of crime. The leaders of Jerusalem accepted bribes, as also did the priests, although they claimed to be holy and safe from evil. If 3:12 is original, it is a warning that Jerusalem could suffer the same fate as did Samaria, capital of Israel, unless the rulers and priests change their ways.
