Micah 4:13 Arise, and tread, O daughter of Sion: for I will make thy horn iron, and thy hoofs I will make brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples, and shalt immolate the spoils of them to the Lord, and their strength to the Lord of the whole earth.

Brass. Fear nothing. The Jews did not attack the army of Cambyses, (Ezechiel 38:21., and 39:10.; Calmet) at least at first. (Haydock) --- But what God did for them is attributed to them. (Calmet) --- Immolate. Septuagint, "devote to the Lord their multitude, and," etc. Protestants, "gain," (Haydock) or what spoils they have taken. (Calmet)
