Micah 5:10-15

God wants people to obey him

10 The Lord says,

‘At that time, I will remove your horses from you.

I will also destroy your chariots.

11 I will destroy the cities in your land.

I will knock down all your strong buildings.

12 I will remove the magic things that you use.

You will have no magicians to tell you about future times.

13 I will remove the idols and the stone pillars

that are among you.

You will no longer worship

those things that you yourselves have made.

14 I will pull out the Asherah poles that you worship.

5:14Some Israelites chose to worship the Canaanites' god, Asherah. The poles were like an idol for them to worship.

Yes, I will destroy all your images of false gods.

15 I will also punish the people of all nations that refuse to obey me.

I will show them that I am very angry with them.’
