11 Now many nations may gather against you;
        they say, “Let her be defiled,”
        or “Let our eyes look with desire at Zion.”
12 But they don’t know the plans of the Lord;
            they can’t understand his scheme,
        namely, that he will bring them like grain to the threshing floor!
13 Arise and thresh, Daughter Zion,
        for I will make your horn out of iron;
        your hooves I will make out of bronze.
    You will crush many peoples;
        you will dedicate their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,
        their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

11 But now many nations
    are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,

    the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,(B)
    that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Rise and thresh,(C) 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.”(D)
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,(E)
    their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
