7 chapters · 105 verses · Micah · ~735 BC

In a single verse, Micah distills everything God requires into three things. Twenty-seven centuries later, nobody has improved on it.

Overview

Micah is a small-town prophet who confronts the powerful elite of Jerusalem. He predicts the Messiah's birthplace (Bethlehem) and delivers one of Scripture's most memorable summaries of faith: "What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."
