12 But they don’t know
    what the Lord is thinking;
they don’t understand his plan.
    He has gathered them like bundles of grain to the threshing floor.

13 “Get up and beat them, people of Jerusalem.
    I will make you strong as if you had horns of iron
and hoofs of bronze.
    You will beat many nations into small pieces
and give their wealth to the Lord,
    their treasure to the Lord of all the earth.”
