Habakkuk 2:6-12
6
“Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!
How long must this go on?’
7
Will not your debtors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their victim.
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.
For you have shed man’s blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
9
“Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain
to set his nest on high,
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10
You have plotted the ruin of many peoples,
shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.
11
The stones of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12
“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and establishes a town by crime!
