Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 6:13
"Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins."This tragic verse reveals that the awful fate about to befall "the sinful kingdom" was fully and unqualifiedly deserved.

"All that is related of Omri in the Bible, is that he was worse than all of his predecessors!"[30] "No special statutes of his are anywhere mentioned; but he was the founder of that evil dynasty that gave Ahab to Israel and Athaliah (the... read more
