Habakkuk 2:9-14

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!12 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.34 12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!5 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?6 14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.7
