4:11Many nations have now assembled against you.
They say, “Jerusalem must be desecrated,34
so we can gloat over Zion!”35
4:12But they do not know what the Lord is planning;
they do not understand his strategy.
He has gathered them like stalks of grain to be threshed36 at the threshing floor.
Footnotes
- 34 Heb “let her be desecrated.” the referent (Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 35 Heb “and let our eye look upon Zion.”
- 36 The words “to be threshed” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation to make it clear that the Lord is planning to enable “Daughter Zion” to “thresh” her enemies.

Now many nations have gathered against you.
“Let her be desecrated,” they say.
“Let us see the destruction of Jerusalem.”
But they do not know the Lord’s thoughts
or understand his plan.
These nations don’t know
that he is gathering them together
to be beaten and trampled
like sheaves of grain on a threshing floor.

And now, many nations are gathered against you

that he has gathered them as sheaves
to his threshing floor.

But they know not the thoughts of the Lord,
Neither understand they his counsel:
For he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
