Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Micah 2:5

_ _ Therefore — resumed from Micah 2:3. On account of your crimes described in Micah 2:1, Micah 2:2.

_ _ thou — the ideal individual (“me,” Micah 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 (Micah 2:2) they had forfeited “the portion of Jehovah’s people.” This is God’s implied answer to their complaint of injustice (Micah 2:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Micah 2:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in (c) the congregation of the LORD.
