Charles Ellicott Commentary
"In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove [it] from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields." — Micah 2:4 (ASV)
Shall one take up a parable against you — that is, the enemies will repeat in mockery the mournful lamentations with which you lament your pitiable state.
Turning away he has divided. — Rather, to an apostate — that is, an idolater — he has divided our fields. The land they were taking from others God would give into the hands of an idolatrous king.
