What Does This Mean?
Micah is talking about the leaders of Israel who are corrupt and only do things for money, including judges, priests, and prophets. Despite their corruption, they think God will protect them because He's with them.

Imagine a group of kids in charge at school who don't really care about doing what's right; they just want to get paid. Even though they're not being good leaders, they think the principal will always be on their side and keep helping them.
Historical Background
Micah wrote this around 750-700 BC during a time of corruption among Israel's leadership. He was speaking to his fellow Israelites, warning them about their actions and the consequences if they don't change.
