12 But those nations don’t know
    what the Lord has in mind.
They don’t understand his plan.
    He has planned to gather them up like bundles of grain.
    He has planned to take them to his threshing floor.

13 The 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 hooves.
    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.

    the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,(A)
    that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Rise and thresh,(B) Daughter Zion,
    for I will give you horns of iron;
I will give you hooves of bronze,
    and you will break to pieces many nations.”(C)
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,(D)
    their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
