10. And if a relative, or his undertaker, brings the remains out of the house, he shall say to one inside the house, “Is anyone with you?” and he says, “No,” then he shall say, “Hush!” For we have not remembered the Name of יהוה!
11. For look, יהוה is commanding, and He shall smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12. Do horses run on a rock? Does one plough it with oxen? For you have turned right-ruling into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13. you who are rejoicing over a matter of naught, who say, “Have we not taken horns for ourselves by our own strength?”
14. “For look, I am raising up a nation against you, O house of Yisra’ĕl,” declares יהוה Elohim of hosts, “and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Ḥamath to the wadi Araḇah.”
