11 For behold, the Lord commands,
    and (A)the great house shall be struck down into fragments,
    and the little house into bits.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
    Does one plow there[a] with oxen?
(B)But you have turned justice into (C)poison
    (D)and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood[b]
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar,[c]
    who say, (E)“Have we not by our own strength
    captured Karnaim[d] for ourselves?”
