¹⁰ O my crushed ones, the grain of my floor! I have given you the word which came to me from the Lord of armies, the God of Israel.

³³ For these are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down; before long, the time of her grain-cutting will come.

¹³ Up! and let the grain be crushed, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your feet brass, and a number of peoples will be broken by you, and you will give up their increase to the Lord and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

⁷ For out of all his army, Jehoahaz had only fifty horsemen and ten carriages and ten thousand footmen; the king of Aram had given them up to destruction, crushing them like dust.

¹⁵ See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.

¹⁶ You will send the wind over them, and it will take them away; they will go in all directions before the storm-wind: you will have joy in the Lord, and be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.

¹⁸ When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

¹⁹ But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.

¹² In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

¹⁴ And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

¹² You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.

²⁶ And so I say to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men.

²⁷ For I have not kept back from you anything of the purpose of God.
