According to the Hebrew Bible, Micah (Hebrew: מִיכָה הַמֹּרַשְׁתִּיMīḵā hamMōraštī "Micah the Morashtite"), also known as Micheas,^[1] was a prophet in the Bible and is the author of the Book of Micah.

He is considered one of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Hebrew Bible and was a contemporary of the prophets Isaiah, Amos and Hosea.

The Prophet Micah - Chabad.org

Micah was from Moresheth-Gath, in southwest Judah. He prophesied during the reigns of kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah.

Micah's messages were directed chiefly toward Jerusalem. He prophesied the future destruction of Jerusalem and Samaria, the destruction and then future restoration of the Judean state, and he rebuked the people of Judah for dishonesty and idolatry.

Micah is interpreted by Christians as a prophecy that Bethlehem, a small village just south of Jerusalem, would be the birthplace of the Messiah.
