Amos 6:11 in context

1. 9It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house,
   that they shall die.
2. 10“When a man’s relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, ‘Is there yet any with you?’ And he says, ‘No;’ then he will say, ‘Hush! Indeed we must not mention Yahweh’s name.’
3. 11“For, behold, Yahweh commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces,
   and the little house into bits.
4. 12Do horses run on the rocky crags?
   Does one plow there with oxen?
   But you have turned justice into poison,
   and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
5. 13you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say,
   ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’
