"The voice of the Lord will call to the city - and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:  'Hear, O tribe.  Who has appointed its time?  Is there yet a man in the wicked house, along with treasures of wickedness and a short measure that is cursed?  Can I justify wicked scales and a bag of deceptive weights?  For the rich men of the city are full of violence, her residents speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth."

God turns His attention on the scales of the city.  He looks at the marketplace and points out the fact that many merchants are lying with their scales.  In other words, instead of using a weight that will give an honest measure, they use weights that are slightly off, therefore hurting the purchaser.  This is basic oppression, and God is not pleased.  (He never is, when someone is being oppressed.)

Micah tells His readers that God will not justify wicked scales - that means that God is going to have to take drastic measures to ensure rescue for the hurting.

BUT - before that happens, God gives an option.  Look at verse 10.

Is there yet a man???  God is looking for a man that will stand up in honesty and break the cycle of sin.  Just as He looked for Abraham.  Just as He looked for David.

Just as God is looking now.

He who is like Jehovah will stand for God when nobody else does.
