Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye blook upon Zion.”
Nor do they understand His counsel;
For He will gather them blike sheaves to the threshing floor.
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall cbeat in pieces many peoples;
dI will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
And their substance to ethe Lord of the whole earth.”

Micah 4:13
thresh—destroy thy foes "gathered" by Jehovah as "sheaves" (Isaiah 41:15-16).
thine horn—Zion being compared to an ox treading corn, and an ox's strength lying in the horns, her strength is implied by giving her a horn of iron (compare I Kings 22:11).
beat in pieces many— (Daniel 2:44).
I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord—God subjects the nations to Zion, not for her own selfish aggrandizement, but for His glory (Isaiah 60:6, Isaiah 60:9; Zechariah 14:20, with which compare Isaiah 23:18) and for their ultimate good; therefore He is here called, not merely God of Israel, but "Lord of the whole earth."
