Verses related to Micah, 7:

Chapter 7 of Micah deals with the corruption of the people of Israel and the hope of redemption through the mercy of God. Micah calls for justice, pointing to the hypocrisy and dishonesty of those in positions of power. He then turns to God, trusting his goodness and promise of forgiveness and restoration. Below are five verses related to the themes of the chapter:

Isaiah 1:18: "Come, and let us, say the LORD," even if your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow; even if they are red as Carmesim, they will become like white wool. " This verse speaks of the promise of forgiveness and cleanliness that God offers his people, even if his sins are serious.

Psalm 103:8-10: "The Lord is merciful and compassionate, patient and full of love. He does not accuse or be resentful forever; he does not treat us as our sins nor do us return to our iniquities." This psalm describes God's goodness and mercy, which does not treat us as we deserve, but offers forgiveness and love.

Proverbs 28:13: "Which covers your transgressions will never prosper, but what confesses them and will reach mercy." This verse speaks of the importance of confessing our sins and seeking forgiveness, rather than trying to hide or justify them.

Jeremiah 31:34: "No one else will teach your neighbor, nor your brother, saying," Know the Lord, "because they will all know me from the smallest to the greatest," says the Lord. For I will forgive their wickedness and no longer remember their sins. "This verse speaks of God's promise to forgive and forget our sins, making us truly their people.

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you are saved, through faith; and this does not come from you, it is the gift of God. It does not come from the works, so that no one can glorious." This verse speaks of salvation by the grace of God, not for our own works or merits. This reminds us that redemption and forgiveness are gifts from God to his people, not something we can gain or deserve.
