The Answer is Micah takes up a covenant lawsuit against YHWH's people, who he says have worshiped other gods, exploited the poor, and generally done evil things. In consequence, YHWH will destroy his people. These books each reflect a time of general prosperity but with a looming foreign threat (Assyria). His prophecies were especially important to later prophets who similarly proclaimed destruction because they gave credibility to those later prophets whose message corresponded with that of Micah.
