Micah 5:14

And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.

Cross-reference

1 Kings 14:23 Historical context

1 Kings 14:23 describes Israel's sin of building Asherah poles on high hills — the very sin Micah 5:14 judges by uprooting them.

2 Kings 17:10 Historical context

2 Kings 17:10 records Israel setting up pillars and Asherah poles everywhere — the basis for the judgment in Micah 5:14.

Deuteronomy 12:3 commands Israel to tear down altars, pillars, and Asherah poles — the same actions God now promises to do to them.

Isaiah 17:8 Contrast

Isaiah 27:9 Parallel

Isaiah 27:9 links atonement to the removal of Asherah poles — a positive outcome compared to the judgment here.
