Micah

(Book of,) (mi'kah.) (Script.) A canonical book of the Old Testament, written by the minor prophet Micah, of whom all that we know is that he prophesied during the reign of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. In the book of his name, M. censures the reigning vices of Jerusalem and Samaria, and launches the denunciations of God against the kingdom. [s. 598]
