The Dynamics of Violence in Micah

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The vocabulary of violence in the Book of Micah is virtually ubiquitous. This makes violence one of the dominant themes of this book and raises a question of its role within it. The present study analyses the vocabulary of violence and finds three ways in which it is referred to. The first group of texts describes the violence of the Israelites against their neighbours, consisting mainly in social injustice. As a consequence of this internal violence, the second group talks of the violence of foreign nations against Israel. Finally – as revenge for the previous, second type of violence – the third group of texts presents the violence of Israel against the foreign nations. Thus, the Book of Micah describes a chain of violence, where one case of violence inexorably produces another. This might be a gloomy, albeit realistic and sober scenario of the human condition. However, the Book of Micah offers also a way out of this sad situation. It is hinted at in two passages, where Micah talks about divine violence against the violence itself, thereby being a kind of a fourth type of violence. In this way, Micah’s thought resembles Pauline theology of human sin and divine grace.
