Micah 4:12–13

12 But they do not know the thoughts of Yahweh,

and they do not understand his plan,

that he has gathered them as sheaves

to his threshing floor.

13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion,

for your horn I will make as iron

and your hooves as bronze.

And you will break many peoples in pieces,

and their gain you will devote to destruction to Yahweh,

and their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
