Amos 6:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 And his uncle [a]shall take him up and burn him, to carry out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him, that is by the [b]sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? And he shall say, None. Then shall he say, [c]Hold thy tongue: for we may not remember the Name of the Lord.
11 For behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Shall horses [d]run upon the rock? or will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into [e]wormwood.
