12 Do horses run on rocks?
    Does one plow there[a] with oxen?
(A)But you have turned justice into (B)poison
    (C)and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood[b]
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar,[c]
    who say, (D)“Have we not by our own strength
    captured Karnaim[d] for ourselves?”
14 “For behold, (E)I will raise up against you a nation,
    O house of Israel,” declares the Lord, the God of hosts;
“and they shall oppress you from (F)Lebo-hamath
    to the Brook of (G)the Arabah.”
