rsv Micah:4:9-13
rsv@Micah:4:9 @ Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in travail?
rsv@Micah:4:10 @ Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you shall go forth from the city and dwell in the open country; you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be rescued, there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
rsv@Micah:4:11 @ Now many nations are assembled against you, saying, "Let her be profaned, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion."
rsv@Micah:4:12 @ But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
rsv@Micah:4:13 @ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples, and shall devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.
