Micah 4:12

4:12 But they do not know what the Lord is planning;

they do not understand his strategy.

He has gathered them like stalks of grain to be threshed ¹  at the threshing floor.

Micah 3:4

3:4 Someday these sinners will cry to the Lord for help, ² 

but he will not answer them.

He will hide his face from them at that time,

because they have done such wicked deeds.”

[4:12]  ¹ tn The words “to be threshed” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation to make it clear that the Lord is planning to enable “Daughter Zion” to “thresh” her enemies.

[3:4]  ² tn Heb “then they will cry out to the Lord.” The words “Someday these sinners” have been supplied in the translation for clarification.
