Habakkuk 2:6-9 Habakkuk 2 - God's Answer to Habakkuk

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!
