Micah 4:10-13
English Standard Version
10 (A)Writhe and groan,[a] O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for (B)now you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you (C)shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
(D)there the Lord will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now (E)many nations
are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be defiled,
and (F)let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
12 But (G)they do not know
the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,
that (H)he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 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 (I)shall devote[b] (J)their gain to the Lord,
their wealth to (K)the Lord of the whole earth.
