11 For behold, the Lord is going to (A)command that the (B)great house be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.

12 Do horses run on rocks?
Or does one [a]plow them with oxen?
Yet you have turned (C)justice into poison,
And the fruit of righteousness into [b]wormwood,
13 You who rejoice in [c](D)Lodebar,
[d]And say, “Have we not (E)by our own strength taken [e]Karnaim for ourselves?”
