Habakkuk 2:6-11
6“Will not all of these atake up a taunt-song against him,Even mockery and insinuations against him
And say, ‘ bWoe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself ▼
▼ Lit heavy
rich with loans?’7“Will not ▼
▼ Lit those who bite you
your creditors erise up suddenly,And those who ▼
▼ Lit violently shake you
collect from you awaken?Indeed, you will become plunder for them.
8“Because you have glooted many nations,
All the remainder of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence ▼
▼ Lit of the land
done to the land,To the town and all its inhabitants.
9“Woe to him who gets ievil gain for his house
To jput his nest on high,
To be delivered from the hand of calamity!
10“You have devised a kshameful thing for your house
By cutting off many peoples;
So you are lsinning against yourself.
11“Surely the mstone will cry out from the wall,
And the rafter will answer it from the ▼
▼ Lit wood
framework.
