Micah2:5
5. Therefore--resumed from Mi 2:3. On account of your crimes described in Mi 2:1, 2.
thou--the ideal individual ("me," Mi 2:4), representing the guilty people in whose name he spoke.
none that ... cast a cord by lot--none who shall have any possession measured out.
in the congregation of the Lord--among the people consecrated to Jehovah. By covetousness and violence (Mi 2:2) they had forfeited "the portion of Jehovah's people." This is God's implied answer to their complaint of injustice (Mi 2:4).
