Habakkuk:2:5-13
rsv@Habakkuk:2:5 @ Moreover, wine is treacherous; the arrogant man shall not abide. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations, and collects as his own all peoples."
rsv@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, in scoffing derision of him, and say, "Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own--for how long?--and loads himself with pledges!"
rsv@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Will not your debtors suddenly arise, and those awake who will make you tremble? Then you will be booty for them.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:8 @ Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of men and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell therein.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:9 @ Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm!
rsv@Habakkuk:2:10 @ You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples; you have forfeited your life.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:11 @ For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the woodwork respond.
rsv@Habakkuk:2:12 @ Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and founds a city on iniquity!
rsv@Habakkuk:2:13 @ Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor only for fire, and nations weary themselves for nought?
