Do you know how important it is for leadership to practice justice? Micah

Micah 3:1-3
And I said,
“Hear now, heads of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to know justice?
“You who hate good and love evil,
Who tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
Who eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Break their bones
And chop them up as for the pot
And as meat in a kettle.”"

The prophet Micah is prophesying to both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms.  Both of the nations have disobeyed God and both have had wicked leadership who not only didn't correct the behavior of the nation, contributed to that disobedience.   In the above passage Micah is telling the leadership is that their responsibility was to execute justice in the midst of the people.  The standard for that is actually found within Micah's words.  Micah is telling the two nations about the justice of God.   The irony here is that God's justice is being administrated on the two nations because their leadership was not just.   Just leadership brings harmony and joy to the people.   Unjust leadership (wicked leaders) bring fear to people and disperses them (Proverbs 11:10; 21:15; 28:28).   Justice in leadership is the number one commodity they need to have since daily they are asked to arbitrate between those who seek justice.   Micah will later accuse these leaders in both nations of taking bribes and having false scales that were used to dispute and seek balance (Micah 6:10-13).   The lesson in this book for leaders is to avoid this behavior and, rather, follow the example of God of executing exact justice.   God is our example of how justice is administrated and how it needs to be administrated.  God can't ignore His justice.  Christ suffered on the cross because God IS just.  God can forgive sins because He has a whim to forgive and/or because He is loving and kind ... even though He is.  God forgives sin because He is loving and kind and uses the sacrificial death of His Son the cross because He is just.   When we ignore justice we do a disservice to Christ and to the character of God.
