Habakkuk 2:8-10
New King James Version

8 (A)Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s [a]blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.

9 “Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
That he may (B)set his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the [b]power of disaster!
10 You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin against your soul.
