Micha Perek 7

• With this perek we finish the seven perakim of Micha. We will be starting Nachum next.

• Micha laments the fact that he is among the few tzadikim in the generation. (most meforshim)

• Micha compares himself to the “last grapes on the tree”. Again, a reference to the small number of righteous people in the generation.

• The gist of Micha’s lament is that pious people have disappeared and the nation has increased their evil deeds.

• “The nation has become immoral. But I, Micha, trust only in you, Hashem!”

• In the future, B’nei Yisrael will confess they were indeed punished for their sins because they rebelled against God.

• God says regarding Am Yisrael and the final redemption: “I will show you wondrous things, like those that I did at the time you went out of the land of Egypt”.

• The nations of the world will be left dumbfounded and will fear God.

• “God, who is like You, Who forgives and overlooks misdeeds, calms easily and loves kindness?”

• God will fulfill His word that he promised to Yaakov and Avraham.
