Micah 4:11

---

← Micah 4:10	Micah 4:11 (KJV)	Micah 4:12 →
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.	Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.	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.
