Amos 6:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 And if a relative, one who burns it,[a] takes up the body to bring it out of the house and says to someone in the innermost parts of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” the answer will come, “No.” Then the relative[b] shall say, “Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For the Lord commands,
and he will shatter the great house to bits
and the little house to pieces.(A)
12 Do horses run on rocky crags?
Does one plow the sea with oxen?[c]
But you have turned justice into poison
and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,(B)
