Strength for the Task
Commentators explain that the imagery of an ox with an "iron horn" and "brass hoofs" is a divine promise. When God calls His people to a task that seems impossible—like a besieged nation threshing its enemies—He provides supernatural strength to accomplish it. This is a message of divine empowerment for the seemingly weak and downtrodden.
