Mic 1:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13-15 : Lachish is told to get ready to flee quickly, because it helped bring sin into Judah (Micah 1:13 ). The city depended on its strength but will find it useless. Achzib, meaning “lie,” will fail those who trust in it. Mareshah will be taken by an enemy, and Adullam, once a place of honor, will become low (Micah 1:15 ). These towns show that sin leads to disappointment and loss.
