Habakkuk 2:9-15

9The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead. He does this so he can build his nest way up high and escape the clutches of disaster.

10Your schemes will bring shame to your house. Because you destroyed many nations, you will self-destruct.

11For the stones in the walls will cry out, and the wooden rafters will answer back.

12The one who builds a city by bloodshed is as good as dead – he who starts a town by unjust deeds.

13Be sure of this! The Lord who commands armies has decreed: The nations’ efforts will go up in smoke; their exhausting work will be for nothing.

14For recognition of the Lord’s sovereign majesty will fill the earth just as the waters fill up the sea.

15“You who force your neighbor to drink wine are as good as dead – you who make others intoxicated by forcing them to drink from the bowl of your furious anger, so you can look at their genitals.
