Although it resembles genuine prophetic passages in its language and subject matter, the speech in Mic 6,1–8 appears not to address any specific concern. Many exegetes have therefore qualified it as a timeless didactic passage reflecting scribal activity of the post-exilic period. In the present paper it will be argued that, contrary to appearances, Mic 6,1–8 does address a pressing question of its period, namely the fall of the northern kingdom and the divine abandonment this was held to to imply. Through poetic allusion to the narrative of I Sam 12, the author of Mic 6,1–8 depicts YHWH as bidding Israel farewell − just as Samuel had taken leave of his people in the distant past.
