Jonah Jonah is the most widely known of the Minor Prophets — not only for being swallowed by a fish — but also for being given a message by God and then rebelling against the idea of delivering it. Micah In a land where the judges accept bribes, rulers oppress the poor, prophets lead the people astray and the priests are easily bought, a just God demands justice. The picture of sin and judgment is dark. Is there mercy and forgiveness with this avenging God? Micah closes his book with words that leave no doubt in our minds that there is.
