aIs there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For bpangs have seized you like a woman in1 labor.
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to aBabylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the bLord will credeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
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 4:10 | Micah 4:12 >> |
