Micah 4:8-13

8And thou, O towerH4026 of the flockH5739, the hillH6076 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, unto thee shall it comeH935, yea, the formerH7223 dominionH4475 shall comeH935, the kingdomH4467 of the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.

9NowH6258 whyH4100 dost thou cryH7321 out aloud? Is there no kingH4428 in thee, is thy counsellor perishedH6, that pangs have takenH2388 holdH2388 of thee as of a woman in travail? 10Be in pain, and labor to bringH935 forthH3318, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, like a woman in travail; for nowH6258 shalt thou goH3318 forthH3318 out of the city, and shalt dwellH7931 in the fieldH7704, and shalt comeH935 even unto BabylonH894: there shalt thou be rescuedH5337; there will Jehovah redeemH1350 thee from the handH3709 of thine enemiesH341. 11And nowH6258 manyH7227 nationsH1471 are assembled against thee, that sayH559, Let her be defiled, and let our eyeH5869 seeH2372 our desire upon ZionH6726. 12But they knowH3045 not the thoughtsH4284 of Jehovah, neither understandH995 they his counselH6098; for he hath gatheredH6908 them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor. 13AriseH6965 and threshH1758, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; for I will makeH7760 thy hornH7161 ironH1270, and I will makeH7760 thy hoofsH6541 brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces manyH7227 peoplesH5971: and I will devote their gainH1215 unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earthH776.
