Micah: The Book of

This keepsake edition of The Book of Micah was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years.

The Book of Micah addresses the future of Israel after the Babylonian exile. Like Isaiah, the book has a vision of the punishment of Israel and creation of a remnant, followed by world peace centered on Zion under the leadership of a new Davidic monarch; the people should do justice, turn to Yahweh, and await the end of their punishment. However, whereas Isaiah sees Israel joining with other the nations under Yahweh's rule, Micah looks forward to Israel ruling over these other nations.
