11 (A)Now also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye (B)look upon Zion.”
12 But they do not know (C)the thoughts of the Lord,
Nor do they understand His counsel;
For He will gather them (D)like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13 “Arise(E) and (F)thresh, O daughter of Zion;
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall (G)beat in pieces many peoples;
(H)I will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
And their substance to (I)the Lord of the whole earth.”

11 And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'

12 They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf [into] a threshing-floor.

13 Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
