Micah / Question
Question source
Micah
Micah records the LORD saying, “I will cut off” several things: horses and chariots, strongholds and cities, sorceries and fortune-tellers, carved images and pillars, and Asherim. The list describes removing military reliance and idolatry from among the people (Micah 5:10–14).
10It shall happen in that day, says Yahweh, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots:
11and I will cut off the cities of your land, and will throw down all your strongholds.
12I will cut off witchcraft out of your hand; and you shall have no [more] soothsayers:
13and I will cut off your engraved images and your pillars out of the midst of you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands;
14and I will pluck up your Asherim out of the midst of you; and I will destroy your cities.
