'Thing' in the Bible

You who make the work of judging a bitter thing, crushing down righteousness to the earth;

Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

And now, hear a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop any thing against the house of Isaac,

On account of this, will not the land tremble and will not every living [thing] in it mourn? And all of it will rise like the Nile and it will be tossed about and subside like the Nile of Egypt.
