Habakkuk 2:5-13

5FurthermoreH637, 1wineH3196 betraysH898 the 2haughtyH3093 manH1397, So that he does not 3stayH5115 at homeH5115. He 4enlargesH7337 his appetiteH5315 like SheolH7585, And he is like deathH4194, neverH3808 satisfiedH7646. He also gathersH622 to himself allH3605 nationsH1471 And collectsH622 to himself allH3605 peoplesH5971.

6“Will not allH3605 of theseH428 5takeH5375 up a taunt-songH4912 againstH5921 him, Even mockeryH4426 and insinuationsH2420 against him And sayH559, ‘6WoeH1945 to him who increasesH7235 what is not his-- For howH4970 longH5704H4970-- And makesH3513 himself 7richH3513 with loansH5671?’7Will not 8your creditorsH5391 9riseH6965 up suddenlyH6621, And those who 10collectH2111 from you awakenH3364? Indeed, you will becomeH1961 plunderH4933 for them.8BecauseH3588 you have 11lootedH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, AllH3605 the remainderH3499 of the peoplesH5971 will lootH7997 you-- BecauseH4480 of humanH120 bloodshedH1818 and violenceH2555 12done to the landH776, To the townH7151 and allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427.

9“WoeH1945 to him who getsH1214 13evilH7451 gainH1215 for his houseH1004 To 14putH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, To be deliveredH5337 from the handH3709 of calamityH7451!10You have devisedH3289 a 15shamefulH1322 thingH1322 for your houseH1004 By cuttingH7096 offH7096 manyH7227 peoplesH5971; So you are 16sinningH2398 against yourselfH5315.11SurelyH3588 the 17stoneH68 will cryH2199 out from the wallH7023, And the rafterH3714 will answerH6030 it from the 18frameworkH6086.

12“WoeH1945 to him who 19buildsH1129 a cityH5892 with bloodshedH1818 And foundsH3559 a townH7151 with 20violenceH5767!13Is it not indeedH2009 from the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 That peoplesH5971 21toilH3021 for fireH784, And nationsH3816 growH3286 wearyH3286 for nothingH7385?
