Amos 6:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible

12 Shall horses [a]run upon the rock? or will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into [b]wormwood.

13 Yet rejoice in a thing of nought: ye say, Have not we gotten us [c]horns by our own strength?

14 But behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God of hosts: and they shall afflict you from the entering in of [d]Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.

Amos 6:12-14
New International Version

12 Do horses run on the rocky crags?
    Does one plow the sea[a] with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison(A)
    and the fruit of righteousness(B) into bitterness(C)—
13 you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar[b]
    and say, “Did we not take Karnaim[c] by our own strength?(D)”

14 For the Lord God Almighty declares,
    “I will stir up a nation(E) against you, Israel,
that will oppress you all the way
    from Lebo Hamath(F) to the valley of the Arabah.(G)”
