Joel 3:3
And they have cast lots - They treated God' s people as of no account, and delighted in showing their contempt toward them. They chose no one above another, as though all alike were worthless. "They cast lots," it is said elsewhere, "upon their honorable men" Nahum 3:10, as a special indignity, above captivity or slavery. A "girl" they sold for an evening' s revelry, and a "boy" they exchanged for a night' s debauch.
