Habakkuk 2:9-14

New International Version

⁹ “Woe to him who builds^(A) his house by unjust gain,^(B)
    setting his nest^(C) on high
    to escape the clutches of ruin!
¹⁰ You have plotted the ruin^(D) of many peoples,
    shaming^(E) your own house and forfeiting your life.
¹¹ The stones^(F) of the wall will cry out,
    and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.

¹² “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed^(G)
    and establishes a town by injustice!
¹³ Has not the Lord Almighty determined
    that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,^(H)
    that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?^(I)
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory^(J) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.^(K)
