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)
