Amos 6:11 Context
9And it shall come to passe, if there remaine tenne men in one house, that they shall die. 10And a mans vncle shall take him vp, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say vnto him that is by the sides of the house; Is there yet any with thee? and hee shall say, No. Then shall he say, Holde thy tongue: for wee may not make mention of the Name of the Lord. 11For beholde, the Lord commandeth, and hee will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 12¶ Shall horses runne vpon the rocke? wil one plow there with oxen? for ye haue turned iudgement into gall, and the fruite of righteousnesse into hemlocke. 13Yee which reioyce in a thing of nought, which say, Haue we not taken to vs hornes by our owne strength?
