Background by Center of Biblical Studies.  

More background by My Jewish Learning.

Micah was a prophet from Judah, but prophesied to both Samaria and Jerusalem, capital cities of the northern and southern kingdoms. He prophesied before and after the fall of Samaria in 722 BC and into the reign of Judah’s king, Hezekiah. He was a contemporary of Isaiah. Unlike Isaiah, however, Micah was not part of the inner court. More like Amos, Micah was from the village of Moresheth. This may explain Micah’s sensitivity to social injustice.

Christ, our true and only Light:
receive our morning prayers, and
illumine the secrets of our hearts with your healing
goodness, that not evil desires may possess us
who are made new in the light of your
heavenly grace. Amen
