Amos 6:10-13
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 6

10Then one’s uncle, or his undertaker, will lift him up to carry out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, 'Is anyone else with you?' And that one will say, 'No one.' Then he will answer, 'Keep quiet! For the name of the Lord is not to be mentioned.' 11For behold, the Lord is going to command that the great house be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble.
12Do horses run on rocks? Or does one plow them with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison, And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood, 13You who rejoice in Lodebar, And say, 'Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?'
King James Version

Chapter 6

10And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the Lord.
11For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 6

10A close relative and burner will remove his corpse from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, "Any more with you?" That person will reply, "None." Then he will say, "Silence, because the Lord’s name must not be invoked."
11For the Lord commands: The large house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble. 12Do horses gallop on the cliffs? Does anyone plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood — 13you who rejoice over Lo-debar and say, "Didn’t we capture Karnaim for ourselves by our own strength?"
New Living Translation

Chapter 6

10And when a relative who is responsible to dispose of the dead goes into the house to carry out the bodies, he will ask the last survivor, 'Is anyone else with you?' When the person begins to swear, 'No, by . . . ,' he will interrupt and say, 'Stop! Don’t even mention the name of the Lord.')
11When the Lord gives the command, homes both great and small will be smashed to pieces.
12Can horses gallop over boulders? Can oxen be used to plow them? But that’s how foolish you are when you turn justice into poison and the sweet fruit of righteousness into bitterness. 13And you brag about your conquest of Lo-debar. You boast, 'Didn’t we take Karnaim by our own strength?'
English Standard Version

Chapter 6

10And when one 's relative, 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, "Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord."
11For behold, the Lord commands, and the great house shall be struck down into fragments, and the little house into bits. 12Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood — 13you who rejoice in Lo-debar, who say, "Have we not by our own strength captured Karnaim for ourselves?"
New International Version

Chapter 6

10And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them asks anyone who might be hiding there, "Is anyone else with you?" and he says, "No," then he will go on to say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the Lord."
11For the Lord has given the command, and he will smash the great house into pieces and the small house into bits. 12Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness—
13you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar and say, "Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?"
New King James Version

Chapter 6

10And when a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, “ Are there any more with you?” Then someone will say, “None.” And he will say, “Hold your tongue! For we dare not mention the name of the Lord.”
11For behold, the Lord gives a command: He will break the great house into bits, And the little house into pieces. 12Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into gall, And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood, 13You who rejoice over Lo Debar, Who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselves By our own strength?”
