Commentary on Micah 3:1

Theological / Devotional

Heads of Jacob. Micah now denounces the injustice and oppression of the rulers and the false prophets.

Is it not for you? Surely these chief men of the state should have known what is just and right, and should have practiced it. However, as is so often the case, the possessors of power abused their authority. The more prominent a man is among his fellows, and the more important his work, the wider is the range of his influence. He may use that influence for good, or he may use his prominence and authority to encourage evil.
