Micah 4:12

But, they, know not the purposes of Yahweh, neither have they discerned his counsel,—for he hath gathered them, as sheaves, to a threshing-floor.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

In Context

13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for, thy horn, will I make to be iron, and, thy hoofs, will I make to he bronze, so shalt thou beat in pieces many peoples,—and shalt devote to Yahweh their unrighteous gain, and their substance, to the Lord of all the earth.
