Habakkuk 2:9-12

^{Tools
9}

Woe to him who dishonestly makes
wealth for his house^(a)
to place his nest on high,
to escape from the reach of disaster!^(A)

^{Tools
10}

You have planned shame for your house
by wiping out many peoples
and sinning against your own self.

^{Tools
11}

For the stones will cry out^(B) from the wall,
and the rafters will answer them
from the woodwork.

^{Tools
12}

Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and founds a town with injustice!^(C)
