Gird yourselves, yet be [b]shattered;
Gird yourselves, yet be [c]shattered.

15 Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;
(A)You will thresh the (B)mountains and pulverize them,
And will make the hills like chaff.
16 You will (C)winnow them, and the wind will carry them away,
And the storm will scatter them;
But you will (D)rejoice in Yahweh;
You will boast in the Holy One of Israel.

12 But they do not (A)know the thoughts of Yahweh,
And they do not understand His counsel;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Arise and (B)thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron,
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may (C)pulverize many peoples,
That you may (D)devote to Yahweh their greedy gain unto destruction
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
