Habakkuk 2:5-13

5Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth to him all nations, and heapeth to him all people:1 6Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!2 7Shall they not rise suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall oppress thee, and thou shalt be for booty to them? 8Because thou hast laid waste many nations, all the remnant of the people shall lay thee waste; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell in it.3 9Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!45 10Thou gavest shameful counsel to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. 11For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.67 12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!8 13Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour only for fire, and the people shall weary themselves for nothing?9
