5. Therefore--resumed from
Mic 2:3.
On account of your crimes described in
Mic 2:1, 2.
thou--the ideal individual ("me,"
Mic 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
(Mic 2:2)
they had forfeited "the portion of Jehovah's people." This is God's
implied answer to their complaint of injustice
(Mic 2:4).
