9 Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
10 And when a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, “Are there any more with you?”Then someone will say, “None.”And he will say, “Hold your tongue! For we dare not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For behold, the Lord gives a command:He will break the great house into bits,And the little house into pieces.
12 Do horses run on rocks?Does one plow there with oxen?Yet you have turned justice into gall,And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 You who rejoice over Lo Debar,Who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselvesBy our own strength?”
14 “But, behold, I will raise up a nation against you,O house of Israel,”Says the Lord God of hosts;“And they will afflict you from the entrance of HamathTo the Valley of the Arabah.”
