Reading for October 5th

Read Micah 1.2-9 Judgment on Samaria and Jerusalem.
Micah's opening speech focuses on his primary audience:
the ruling elite in the capitals of Israel and Judah.
In verses 3-4 Divine appearances so powerful that they throw nature into
disarray are common at the beginning of prophetic books (Am 1.2; Nah 1.3-5).
In verse 5 Samaria and Jerusalem are viewed as the centers of corruption
in their respective kingdoms.
In verses 6-7 the end of Samaria, forecast here, occurred during Micah's career in
721 BCE when the Assyrians conquered Israel.
In verse 9 a threat to Jerusalem, but not its end, is described.
