Amos 6:11

Yahweh Abhors Israel's Pride

¹⁰ When their close relatives, the ones who will burn the corpses, pick up their bodies to remove the bones from the house, they will say to anyone who is in the inner rooms of the house, "Is anyone else with you?" He will respond, "Be quiet! Don't invoke the Lord's name!" ¹¹ Indeed, look! The Lord is giving the command. He will smash the large house to bits, and the small house into little pieces. ¹² Can horses run on rocky cliffs? Can one plow the sea with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into a poisonous plant, and the fruit of righteous actions into a bitter plant.
