Habakkuk 2:9-15

9“Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the power of disaster!

10You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul.

11For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the beam from the timbers will answer it.

12“Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity!

13Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts That the peoples labor to feed the fire, And nations weary themselves in vain?

14For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.

15“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, Pressing him to your bottle, Even to make him drunk, That you may look on his nakedness!
