Micah grieves that the godly have vanished from the land, that everyone lies in wait for blood, and that no one can be trusted — not neighbor, friend, or even family. Yet in the darkness he resolves, “But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.” Confident that God will bring him to the light and plead his cause, Micah ends in soaring praise: “Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression... He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” The book closes on God’s faithfulness to His ancient promises to Abraham and Jacob.
