Amos 6:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
10 And if a relative, one who burns the dead,[a] shall take up the body to bring it out of the house, and shall say to someone in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is anyone else with you?’ the answer will come, ‘No.’ Then the relative[b] shall say, ‘Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord.’
11 See, the Lord commands,
and the great house shall be shattered to bits,
and the little house to pieces.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
Does one plough the sea with oxen?[c]
But you have turned justice into poison
and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
