Habakkuk 2:9-15

9“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who obtains wicked gain for his house [and thinks by so doing] To set his nest on high, That he may be rescued from the hand of evil.

10You have devised a shameful thing for your house By cutting off and putting an end to many peoples; So you are sinning against your own life and forfeiting it.

11For the stone will cry out from the wall [to accuse you—built in sin!] And the rafter will answer it out of the woodwork.

12“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who builds a city with bloodshed And establishes a town by violence!

13Is it not indeed from the Lord of hosts That peoples labor [only] for the fire [that will destroy their work], And nations grow weary for nothing [that is, things which have no lasting value]?

14But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.

15“Woe (judgment is coming) to you who make your neighbors drink, Who mix in your venom to make them drunk So that you may look at their nakedness!
