Mic.3.11
3:11 the Lord is here among us: This expression indicates the Lord’s approval (see Exod 3:12, 14; 25:8; Mic 2:5; Zech 2:11) and his dwelling among his people. The false prophets wrongly claimed God’s presence.

Mic.3.12
3:12 Mount Zion, where the Lord once lived, would become a thicket, an uninhabitable wilderness. Utter destruction awaited the fallen Jerusalem. Jeremiah later quoted this passage (Jer 26:18). • Just as a field needs to be cleared to prepare it for cultivation, Jerusalem had to be reduced to ruins in judgment.

Mic.3.1-4
3:1-4 Micah relentlessly indicted the leaders of Israel because they were responsible for the peoples’ well-being. The horrors here depict the terrors of a people under siege (cp. Deut 28:53; 2 Kgs 6:29).
