Micah
Treated in 76 passages across the library.
The prophecies of Micah, a contemporary of Isaiah, to both Israel and Judah. He denounces the greed of the powerful and the corruption of priests and prophets, and foretells judgment. He also names Bethlehem as the birthplace of the coming ruler of Israel, and sums up what the Lord requires: "to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."
