Micah

Micah 4:11–13

¹¹But now many nations

have assembled against you,

saying, “Let her be defiled,

and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”

¹²But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD

or understand His plan,

for He has gathered them

like sheaves to the threshing floor.

¹³Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion,

for I will give you horns of iron

and hooves of bronze

to break to pieces many peoples.

Then you will devote^b their gain to the LORD,

their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
