12 They don’t know the thoughts of Yahweh or understand his plan.
    He will bring them together
        like cut grain on the threshing floor.[a]
13 Get up and thresh,[b] people of Zion.
    I will make your horns as hard as iron
        and your hoofs as hard as bronze.
            You will smash many nations into small pieces.
                You will claim their loot for Yahweh,
                    their wealth for the Adonay of the whole earth.
