Micah 6 - 7

God lays out His plea for the nation to turn from her wickedness and accept His loving discipline and forgiveness.  He asks what more could have been done to demonstrate His love; He pleads for the nation to do what is simply required:  to do justly, to love mercy and to humbly walk with Him.  He will reward those who have hurt her with destruction.  The nation does begin to seek forgiveness for her sins, and Micah wonders at the loving forgiveness God willingly provides.  He is amazed that a God of such great power and might would pardon such transgressions against His holiness.  Micah ends his book with a note of praise for God's compassion.
