弥迦书是圣经全书的第33本书，也是小先知书之一。弥迦书中很多预言在时隔几百年后获得惊人应验。本书的作者是弥迦，他的预言针对南方犹大国，他向犹大人发出强烈的警告信息。

弥迦，希伯来文的意思为「谁像耶和华」，或「耶和华像神」

弥迦是个农村预言者，来自位于耶路撒冷西南肥沃高原地带的摩利沙村。他对农村的事物耳熟能详，从他作宣告时屡次运用比喻去阐明要点的方式可以见之。弥迦多半在民间传扬上帝的话，被称为「乡村的先知」。

弥迦可能在犹大的农村中长大，但他的表达能力甚强。圣经中若干最优美的言词即出自此书。第6章是以有力的对话形式写成。弥迦从一个论点迅速转到另一个论点，时而咒诅，时而祝福，再又咒诅，这种突如其来的转变紧扣读者的心弦。书中充满许多生动传神的意象：当耶和华出动时，“众山在他以下必消化，诸谷必崩裂，如蜡化在火中，如水冲下山坡。”

The Book of Micah is a prophetic book in the Tanakh /Old Testament, and the sixth of the twelve minor prophets. It records the sayings of Micah, Mikayahu, meaning "Who is like Yahweh?", an 8th-century B.C. prophet from the village of Moresheth in Judah (Hebrew name from the opening verse: מיכה המרשתי). The book has three major divisions, chapters 1–2, 3–5 and 6–7, each introduced by the word "Hear," with a pattern of alternating announcements of doom and expressions of hope within each division. Micah reproaches unjust leaders, defends the rights of the poor against the rich and powerful; while looking forward to a world at peace centered on Zion under the leadership of a new Davidic monarch.
