Micah 4:13

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 

[4:13]  ¹ tn Heb “I will make your horn iron.”

[4:13]  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.

[4:13]  ³ tn Or “the Lord” (so many English versions); Heb “the master.”

[4:13]  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.
