4:13 “Get up and thresh, Daughter Zion!
For I will give you iron horns; 1
I will give you bronze hooves,
and you will crush many nations.” 2
You will devote to the Lord the spoils you take from them,
and dedicate their wealth to the sovereign Ruler 3 of the whole earth. 4
1 tn Heb “I will make your horn iron.”
2 sn Jerusalem (Daughter Zion at the beginning of the verse; cf. 4:8) is here compared to a powerful ox which crushes the grain on the threshing floor with its hooves.
3 tn Or “the Lord” (so many English versions); Heb “the master.”
4 tn Heb “and their wealth to the master of all the earth.” The verb “devote” does double duty in the parallelism and is supplied in the second line for clarification.
