We must not mention the name of the LORD."
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:11 - For behold, the LORD commands, and the great house shall be smitten into fragments, and the little house into bits.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:12 - Do horses run upon rocks? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood--
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 6:13 - you who rejoice in Lo-debar, who say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?"
