Do 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,

ગુજરાતીઆમોસ ૬:૧૨
શું ઘોડો ખડક પર દોડી શકે? શું કોઈ ત્યાં બળદથી ખેડી શકે? કેમ કે તમે ન્યાયને ઝેરરૂપ, અને નેકીના ફળને કડવાશરૂપ કરી નાખ્યા છે.
हिन्दीआमोस ६:१२
क्या घोड़े चट्टान पर दौड़ें? क्या कोई ऐसे स्थान में बैलों से जोते जहाँ तुम लोगों ने न्याय को विष से, और धार्मिकता के फल को कड़वे फल में बदल डाला है?

In context

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 the LORD’s name.’

11“For, behold, the LORD commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.

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,

13you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, ‘Haven’t we taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?’

14For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel,” says the LORD, the God of Armies; “and they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
