Habakkuk 2:9-13

“Woe to him who makes evil profit for his household, To put his nest on high, To be saved from the hand of catastrophe!

“You have planned a shameful thing for your house By bringing many peoples to an end; So you are sinning against yourself.

“For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the rafter will answer it from the framework.

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed, And founds a town with violence!

“Is it not indeed from the Lord of armies That peoples labor merely for fire, And nations become weary for nothing?
