Context of Micah 4:13

11But now many nations have assembled against you, those who are saying, “Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze on Zion.” 12But they do not know Adonai’s thoughts, nor understand His plan. For He has gathered them like grain to a threshing floor. Arise and tread, Daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hooves bronze. You will thresh many peoples. I will devote their unjust gain to Adonai, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth. 14Now gather yourself in troops, O Daughter of Troops. He has laid siege against us. With a staff they have struck the Judge of Israel on the cheek.

Commentaries on Micah 4:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion - This refers to the subject of the preceding verse. When God shall have gathered together all thy enemies, as into the threshing-floor, he will give thee commission and power to get a complete victory over them, and reduce them to servitude. And that thou mayest be able to do this, he will be on thy side as a powerful helper; here signified by the metaphors, iron horns, and brazen hoofs. Thou shalt have power…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Arise - (It may be,) from the dust in which they were lying, “I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass.” Threshing in the East is partly with oxen, partly with wheels of iron, or with planks set with sharp flints on an open place made hard to this end.
