11. For behold, the Lord commands,and the great house shall be struck down into fragments,and the little house into bits.
12. Do horses run on rocks?Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—

14. “For behold, I will raise up against you a nation,O house of Israel,” declares the Lord, the God of hosts;“and they shall oppress you from Lebo-hamathto the Brook of the Arabah.”
