11 For the Lord commands:The large house will be smashed to pieces,and the small house to rubble.
12 Do horses gallop on the cliffs;does anyone plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood —
13 you who rejoice over Lo-debar and say, “Didn’t we capture Karnaimfor ourselves by our own strength? ”
14 But look, I am raising up a nationagainst you, house of Israel —this is the declaration of the Lord,the God of Hosts —and they will oppress youfrom the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.
