Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. (n) I will make you able to destroy all your enemies no matter how mighty, and this chiefly is referred to the kingdom of Christ.
Israel now lies helpless as a worm, a scattered handful; but Jehovah will make them a sharp threshing roller to crush mountains into dust. The worm becomes the thresher, and in this transformation Israel reflects something of the Messiah Himself.
