Habakkuk 2:9-14

9WoeH1945 to him that getteth an evilH7451 gainH1215 for his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the handH3709 of evilH7451!

10Thou hast consultedH3289 shameH1322 to thy houseH1004, by cuttingH7096 offH7096 manyH7227 peoplesH5971, and hast sinnedH2398 againstH2398 thy soulH5315.

11For the stoneH68 shall cryH2199 outH2199 of the wallH7023, and the beam outH2199 of the timberH6086 shall answerH6030 it.

12WoeH1945 to him that buildeth a townH7151 with bloodH1818, and stablisheth a cityH5892 by iniquityH5766!

13BeholdH2009, is it notH3808 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 that the peoplesH5971 labour for the fireH784, and the nationsH5971 wearyH3021 themselves for vanity?

14For the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the knowledgeH3045 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
