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.
Look, I will make you into a new, sharp threshing tool with teeth: you will crush the mountains and break them into tiny pieces, and you will turn the hills into dust that blows away.
God is promising to give His people the power to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles and turn their greatest challenges into nothing.
