11 But now many nations
    have ·come to fight [gathered; assembled] against you,
saying, “·Let’s destroy Jerusalem [L Let her be defiled/desecrated].
    We will ·look at her and be glad we have defeated [gloat over; L let our eye look upon] ·her [L Zion].”
12 But they don’t know
    ·what the Lord is thinking [the thoughts of the Lord];
they don’t understand his plan.
    He has gathered them like ·bundles of grain [sheaves] to the threshing floor.

13 “Get up and ·beat them [thresh], ·people of Jerusalem [Daughter Zion].
    I will make you ·strong as if you had horns of iron [horns of iron]
and hoofs of bronze.
    You will beat many nations into small pieces
and ·give [devote; consecrate] their ·wealth [gains; spoils] to the Lord,
    their ·treasure [wealth] to the Lord of all the earth.”
