bHe will break the great house into bits,
And the little house into pieces.
Does one plow there with oxen?
Yet ayou have turned justice into gall,
And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
Who say, “Have we not taken1 Karnaim for ourselves
By our own strength?”
O house of Israel,”
Says the Lord God of hosts;
“And they will afflict you from the bentrance of Hamath
To the Valley of the Arabah.”
