8
“Because you have (A)looted many nations,
All the remainder of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence (a)done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
9
“Woe to him who gets (B)evil gain for his house
To (C)put his nest on high,
To be delivered from the hand of calamity!
10
“You have devised a (D)shameful thing for your house
By cutting off many peoples;
So you are (E)sinning against yourself.
