NET Bible
"Many nations have now assembled against you. They say,“Jerusalem must be desecrated, so we can gloat over Zion!”"
— Micah 4:11, NET Bible
“Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.”
“And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see our desire upon Zion. ”
“Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."”
“And now many nations are gathered together against thee, and they say: Let her be stoned: and let our eye look upon Sion.”
“And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of Zion.”
“Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.”
As for you, watchtower for the flock, fortress of Daughter Zion– your former dominion will be restored, the sovereignty that belongs to Daughter Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, why are you now shouting so loudly? Has your king disappeared? Has your wise leader been destroyed? Is this why pain grips you as if you were a woman in labor?
Twist and strain, Daughter Zion, as if you were in labor! For you will leave the city and live in the open field. You will go to Babylon, but there you will be rescued. There the LORD will deliver you from the power of your enemies.
Many nations have now assembled against you. They say,“Jerusalem must be desecrated, so we can gloat over Zion!”
But they do not know what the LORD is planning; they do not understand his strategy. He has gathered them like stalks of grain to be threshed at the threshing floor.
“Get up and thresh, Daughter Zion! For I will give you iron horns; I will give you bronze hooves, and you will crush many nations.” You will devote to the LORD the spoils you take from them, and dedicate their wealth to the sovereign Ruler of the whole earth.
