Habakkuk 2:6-8

6“Will not all of these 1take up a taunt-song against him, Even mockery and insinuations against him And say, ‘2Woe to him who increases what is not his-- For how long-- And makes himself 3rich with loans?’7Will not 4your creditors 5rise up suddenly, And those who 6collect from you awaken? Indeed, you will become plunder for them.8Because you have 7looted many nations, All the remainder of the peoples will loot you-- Because of human bloodshed and violence 8done to the land, To the town and all its inhabitants.
