Mic 6:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : God announces that He has a controversy, or argument, with His people Israel. Their sins have started a dispute between them and God. Even though they are His chosen people, their sins make God angry. God says He will plead with them, not to destroy them, but to help them understand their wrong and to bring them to repentance. Unlike when God judged the heathen with anger, here He pleads with Israel with compassion. God wants to reason with them, so they will see that His ways are right and fair (Ezekiel 18:25 ).

v. 2: God announces that He has a controversy, or argument, with His people Israel. Their sins have started a dispute between them and God. Even though they are His chosen people, their sins make God angry. God says He will plead with them, not to destroy them, but to help them understand their wrong and to bring them to repentance. Unlike when God judged the heathen with anger, here He pleads with Israel with compassion. God wants to reason with them, so they will see that His ways are right and fair (Ezekiel 18:25 ^a).
