Context Readings

Yahweh Abhors Israel's Pride

10 And lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who is in the sides of the house, 'Is there yet with thee?' And he said, 'None,' then he said, 'Hush! Save to make mention of the name of Jehovah.' 11 For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the great house with breaches, And the little house with clefts. 12 Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough it with oxen? For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to wormwood.
