^{11 Ref} And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'

^{12 Ref} They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf `into' a threshing-floor.

^{13 Ref} Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth!
