12But those nations don’t know

what the Lord has in mind.

They don’t understand his plan.

He will gather them up like bundles of grain.

He will take them to his threshing floor.

13The Lord says,

“People of Zion, get up

and crush your enemies.

I will make you like a threshing ox.

I will give you iron horns and bronze hoofs.

So you will crush many nations.”

They got their money in the wrong way.

But you will set it apart to the Lord.

You will give their wealth

to the Lord of the whole earth.

But they do not know

the thoughts of the Lord;

they do not understand his plan,

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

Arise and thresh,

O daughter of Zion,

for I will make your horn iron,

and I will make your hoofs bronze;

you shall beat in pieces many peoples;

and shall devote their gain to the Lord,

their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.

like sheaves to the threshing floor.

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.

“Rise up and crush the nations, O Jerusalem!”

says the Lord.

“For I will give you iron horns and bronze hooves,

so you can trample many nations to pieces.

You will present their stolen riches to the Lord,

their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.”

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.

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.”

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion:

For I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass:

And thou shalt beat in pieces many people:

And I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord,

And their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
