Amos 6:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Do horses run upon rocks?
    Does one plow the sea with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison
    and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
¹³ you who rejoice in Lo-debar,^[a]
    who say, “Have we not by our own strength
    taken Karnaim^[b] for ourselves?”
¹⁴ “For behold, I will raise up against you a nation,
    O house of Israel,” says the Lord, the God of hosts;
“and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath
    to the Brook of the Arabah.”
