11“For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces,and the little house into bits. 12Do horses run on the rocky crags?Does one plow there with oxen?But you have turned justice into poison,and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness, 13you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say,‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’ 14For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,”says Yahweh, the God of Armies;“and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
