And he will say, 'No.' Then he will say: 'Hold your peace. We may not make mention of the name of Jehovah.' 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 upon the rock? Will one plow there with cattle? You have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood (bitterness)!
