Micah & Nahum | Mercy, Justice, and the God Who Is Good

<p>In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete books of Micah and Nahum from the King James Version.</p><p>Micah speaks boldly against injustice, corruption, false leadership, and empty religion, while looking ahead to restoration and the coming ruler from Bethlehem. His prophecy gives us one of Scripture’s clearest summaries of faithful living: “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” The book closes with a beautiful picture of the Lord who pardons iniquity, delights in mercy, and casts sins into the depths of the sea.</p><p>Nahum turns our attention toward Nineveh, the great Assyrian city that once repented at the preaching of Jonah but has again become known for violence and cruelty. Its judgment is now approaching. Yet amid Nahum’s solemn words comes a comforting assurance: “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”</p><p>Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Micah and Nahum lead us through justice, humility, judgment, mercy, refuge, and the enduring faithfulness of God.</p><p><br></p><p>Highlighted Verses</p><p>Micah 4:2</p><p>“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD.”</p><p>Micah 4:4</p><p>“But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid.”</p><p>Micah 5:2</p><p>“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel.”</p><p>Micah 6:8</p><p>“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”</p><p>Micah 7:7</p><p>“Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.”</p><p>Micah 7:8</p><p>“When I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.”</p><p>Micah 7:18</p><p>“Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity… because he delighteth in mercy?”</p><p>Micah 7:19</p><p>“Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.”</p><p>Nahum 1:3</p><p>“The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.”</p><p>Nahum 1:7</p><p>“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”</p><p>Nahum 1:15</p><p>“Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publishet
