Habakkuk 2:9-15

9WoeH1945 to him that getteth iniquitous gainH1215 to his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the grasp of evilH7451!

10Thou hast devised shameH1322 to thy houseH1004, by cutting off manyH7227 peoplesH5971, and hast sinnedH2398 against thine ownH5315 soulH5315.

11For the stoneH68 shall cryH2199 out of the wallH7023, and the beam out of the timber shall answerH6030 it.

12WoeH1945 to him that buildeth a townH7151 with bloodH1818, and establisheth a cityH5892 by unrighteousnessH5766!

13Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hostsH6635 that the peoplesH5971 labour for the fireH784, and the nations wearyH3021 themselves in vain?

14For the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the knowledge of the gloryH3519 of Jehovah as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.

15WoeH1945 unto him that giveth his neighbour drinkH8248, — that pourest out thy flask, and makest [him] drunken alsoH637, that thou mayest lookH5027 on their nakedness!
