Micah 2:11-3:4 - If a liar and deceiver comes and says, 'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,' he would be just the prophet for this people! "I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people. One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, the LORD at their head." Then I said, "Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice, you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones; who eat my people's flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?" Then they will cry out to the LORD, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.
Romans 12:9 - Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Psalm 14:4 - Will evildoers never learn—those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD ?
Conclusions:
- If I am not just, if I hate good and love evil, God will not answer when I cry out
- My love must be sincere
- If I do not call on the Lord, I am an evildoer.
