Noted from John MacArthur Study Bible

7:1–6 Micah lamented the circumstances of his day. In his vain search for an upright person

(cf. v. 2), he compared himself to the vinedresser who enters his vineyard late in the season and finds no fruit. The leaders conspired together to get what they wanted

(v. 3). No one could be trusted

(vv. 5, 6). Christ used v. 6 as an illustration when He commissioned the twelve (Mt 10:1, 35, 36). ‡

7:1 Woe is me! Micah sounded like Isaiah (cf. Is 6:5). †

7:7 In spite of his dire circumstances, Micah, as a watchman (cf. v. 4), would intently look for evidence of God’s working, trusting God to act in His own time and way (cf. Hab 3:16–19).
