New International Version (NIV)

12Do 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—

12¶Do horses run on rocks?

Or does one plow them with oxen?

Yet you have turned justice into poison,

And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

12Do horses run on rocks?

Or does one plow them with oxen?

Yet you have turned justice into poison

And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

12¶Do horses run on rocks?

Do men plow rocks with oxen? [Of course not!]

Yet you have turned justice into poison

And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood (bitterness),

12“Do horses gallop on the cliffs?

Does one plow the sea with oxen?

But you have turned justice into poison

and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood—

12Horses don’t run on rocky ground.

People don’t plow the sea with oxen.

But you have turned fair treatment into poison.

You have turned the fruit of right living into bitterness.
