15. Again I will bring the conqueror to you, people of Maresha, and the elite of Israel will leave forever.

Chapter 1 of the book of Micah brings the message of divine judgment over the cities of Judah, Samaria and Jerusalem, because of their sins and injustices. Scouring the whole Bible, I found the following verses related to the topics addressed in this chapter:
Isaiah 10:1-2: "Woe to those who decree unfair laws, those who write laws of oppression, to deprive the poor of their rights and to snatch the right of the afflicted of my people; to strip their widows and steal the orphans!" This verse talks about the injustice and oppression that the people of Judah was practicing, which is mentioned in Micah 1.
Ezekiel 22:30: "I sought a man a man who raised the wall and put himself in the loophole before me, in favor of this land, so that I would not destroy it; but to no one I thought." In this verse, God laments that there is no one to intercede for Judah, thus avoiding the divine judgment that is about to happen, which is similar to the situation described in Micah 1.
Jeremiah 26:18: "Micah, the Morastite, prophesied in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Zion will be drawn up as a field, and Jerusalem will become In Ruins Montões, and the mount this house in high places of a woods. " This verse mentions the prophet Micah and his prophecies about the divine judgment that would happen in Judah and Jerusalem, as described in Micah 1.
Hosea 10:10: "I punished them when I wanted; people will gather against them when they are punished for their double sin." This verse talks about divine punishment that will be sent upon the people of Israel because of their sins, which is similar to the situation described in Micah 1.
Psalm 50:3: "Our God will come and will not be silent; In this verse, God is described as a judge who will come to judge his people, which is similar to the message of divine judgment present in Micah 1.
