10 And when one's relative, (A)the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, “Is there still anyone with you?” he shall say, “No”; and he shall say, (B)“Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”

11 For behold, the Lord commands,
    and (C)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?
(D)But you have turned justice into (E)poison
    (F)and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood[b]
