8 For the Lord has sworn by himself, , Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut off city with all who inhabit it.
8 The Sovereign LORD has sworn by himself—the LORD God Almighty declares: “I abhor the pride of Jacob and detest his fortresses; I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”
9 And it shall come to pass, if there be ten men left in one house, that they shall die.
9 If ten people are left in one house, they too will die.
10 But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavor to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet else with thee?
10 And 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.”
11 And he shall say, No else. And shall say, Be silent, that thou name not the name of the Lord.
11 For the LORD has given the command, and he will smash the great house into pieces and the small house into bits.
12 For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with rents.
12 Do 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—
13 Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for ye have turned judgment into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:
13 you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debarand say, “Did we not take Karnaim by our own strength?”
14 ye who rejoice at vanity, who say, Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?
14 For the LORD God Almighty declares, “I will stir up a nation against you, Israel, that will oppress you all the way from Lebo Hamath to the valley of the Arabah.”
