Shall 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:

Verse 12 is found in chapter 6 of Amos. God can strike down both the great house and the small house. The questions about horses and plowing the sea show the absurdity of disrupting the natural order and then expecting injustice to produce healthy results.

Wer kann mit Rossen rennen oder mit Ochsen pflügen auf Felsen? Denn ihr wandelt das Recht in Galle und die Frucht der Gerechtigkeit in Wermut
¿Correrán los caballos por las peñas? ¿ararán en ellas con vacas? ¿por qué habéis vosotros tornado el juicio en veneno, y el fruto de justicia en ajeno?
¿Corren los caballos por la roca? ¿Se ara en ella con bueyes? Pues ustedes han convertido el juicio en veneno y el fruto de la justicia en ajenjo.
Est-ce que les chevaux courent sur un rocher, Est-ce qu'on y laboure avec des boeufs, Pour que vous ayez changé la droiture en poison, Et le fruit de la justice en absinthe?
I cavalli romperanno essi le zolle su per le rocce? o vi si arerà co’ buoi? conciossiachè voi abbiate cangiato il giudicio in veleno, e il frutto della giustizia in assenzio;
Porventura correrão cavalos sobre rocha? Lavrar-se-á nela com bois? Mas vós haveis tornado o juízo em fel, e o fruto da justiça em alosna;
馬豈能在巖石上奔跑? 人豈能在那裏 用牛耕種呢? 你們卻使公平變為苦膽, 使公義的果子變為茵蔯。
