Micah 4:11

Read in context

Micah 4:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Why do you now cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?

10 Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies!

11 But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”

12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13 Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron and hooves of bronze to break to pieces many peoples. Then you will devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
