Joe: Alright, so what's up with Micah 7?

Bible Expert: Well, Micah 7 is about God's judgement and mercy. It starts off with a lament about people being unfaithful and God punishing them.

Joe: Whoa, hold on there. God's punishing people? That sounds kinda harsh.

Bible Expert: Yes, but it also talks about how God can forgive and show mercy if we turn back to him.

Joe: Wow, okay, alright. So what else does it say?

Bible Expert: It talks about how God will restore Israel and bring back the people who are in exile. It also talks about how God will take vengeance on those who have wronged his people, and how he will gather his people back together again.

Joe: Interesting. That sounds like some pretty powerful stuff.

Jamie (Joe's sidekick): Hey Joe, I just Googled it and it looks like Micah 7 is also known as "The Day of the Lord" because it talks about God's judgement and mercy.

Joe: Wow, that's awesome! Alright, what else do we need to know about Micah 7?

Bible Expert: The chapter ends with a call to rejoice and trust in God, because even though he will bring judgement on those who have wronged his people, he will also show mercy and restore his people.
