9 If there are ten men left in a family, they will die.
10 The dead man's relative, the one in charge of the funeral, will take the body out of the house. The relative will call to whoever is still left in the house, “Is anyone else there with you?”The person will answer, “No!”Then the relative will say, “Be quiet! We must be careful not even to mention the Lord's name.”
11 When the Lord gives the command, houses large and small will be smashed to pieces.
12 Do horses gallop on rocks? Does anyone plow the sea with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison, and right into wrong.
13 You brag about capturing the town of Lodebar. You boast, “We were strong enough to take Karnaim.”
14 The Lord God Almighty himself says, “People of Israel, I am going to send a foreign army to occupy your country. It will oppress you from Hamath Pass in the north to the Brook of the Arabah in the south.”
