Amos 6:12

Yahweh Abhors Israel's Pride

¹¹ For behold, the Lord is going to command that the great house be smashed to pieces and the small house to fragments. ¹² Do horses run on rocks?
Or does one plow them with oxen?
Yet you have turned justice into poison
And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
¹³ You who rejoice in Lodebar,
And say, “Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?”
