Old Testament
The Prophecy of Micheas
Chapter 1 - Samaria for her sins shall be destroyed by the Assyrians; they shall also invade Juda and Jerusalem.
Chapter 2 - The Israelites by their crying injustices provoke God to punish them. He shall at last restore Jacob.
Chapter 3 - For the sins of the rich oppressing the poor, of false prophets flattering for lucre, and of judges perverting justice, Jerusalem and the temple shall be destroyed.
Chapter 4 - The glory of the church of Christ, by the conversion of the Gentiles. The Jews shall be carried captives to Babylon, and be delivered again.
Chapter 5 - The birth of Christ in Bethlehem: his reign and spiritual conquests.
Chapter 6 - God expostulates with the Jews for their ingratitude and sins: for which they shall be punished.
Chapter 7 - The prophet laments, that notwithstanding all his preaching, the generality are still corrupt in their manners: therefore their desolation is at hand: but they shall be restored again and prosper; and all mankind shall be redeemed by Christ.
