"I will root out your Asherim from among you and destroy your cities.  And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations which have not obeyed."

This is the part of rescue that often keeps us from rescue.  It is painful to leave our comfort zones, even when our comfort zones are far from where God wants us. 

Here, Micah tells his listeners that God will come and root out that which causes sin from among them.  God will destroy those who revel in disobedience.  God will remove that which destroys.  The problem with the people of Micah is the same problem we have.  They have let that which destroys become familiar, even comfortable.  They will go on to resist the loss of what destroys them.

It is as if they are clinging to what hurts them most instead of clinging to God.  They are fooled.

God will not be fooled - He still promises to remove the harmful.

He who is like Jehovah will be an advocate for life.
