Habakkuk 2:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² “Woe to the man who builds a city
    by means of bloodshed
    and founds a town on the basis of iniquity.
¹³ Is it not in the eternal design
    of the Lord of hosts
that what the people labor for
    is destined for the flames,
and that everything the nations
    exhaust themselves to achieve
    will come to naught.
¹⁴ However, the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the Lord’s glory
    just as the waters cover the sea.
