Amos 6:13
11 For the LORD gives a command: “The great house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.”
12 “Do horses gallop on the cliffs? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—
you who rejoice in Lo-debar and say, ‘Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?’
14 For behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, the God of Hosts, “and they will oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
