Habakkuk 2:6-14

English Standard Version

^(B)“Woe to him ^(C)who heaps up what is not his own—
    for ^(D)how long?—
    and ^(E)loads himself with pledges!”
^7 (F)Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
    and those awake who will make you tremble?
    Then you will be spoil for them.
^8 (G)Because you have plundered many nations,
    all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
^(H)for the blood of man and ^(I)violence to the earth,
    to cities and all who dwell in them.

^9 (J)“Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
    ^(K)to ^(L)set his nest on high,
    to be safe from the reach of harm!
¹⁰ You have devised shame for your house
    ^(M)by cutting off many peoples;
    you have forfeited your life.
¹¹ For ^(N)the stone will cry out from the wall,
    and the beam from the woodwork respond.

^12 (O)“Woe to him ^(P)who builds a town with blood
    and founds a city on iniquity!
¹³ Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts
    that ^(Q)peoples labor merely for fire,
    and nations weary themselves for nothing?
^14 (R)For the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of ^(S)the glory of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.
