11 See, the Lord commands,
    and the great house shall be shattered to bits,
    and the little house to pieces.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
    Does one plow the sea with oxen?[a]
But you have turned justice into poison
    and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar,[b]
    who say, “Have we not by our own strength
    taken Karnaim[c] for ourselves?”
