9. If there remain ten people in one house, they will die.
10. And when a relative or one who prepares the bodies picks them up to carry them out of the house, and says to someone in the recesses of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” he will say, “Hush!”—not to pronounce the name of the Lord.
11. But indeed the Lord gives a command,and He will shatter the great house to bits,and the small house to pieces.
12. Can horses run on a rocky crag?Can one plow the sea with oxen?But you have turned justice into poison,and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13. you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say,“Is it not by our own strength that we captured Karnaim?”
14. Watch: I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,says the Lord, the God of Hosts,and they will oppress youfrom Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah.
