Habakkuk 2:10

Read in context

Habakkuk 2:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you— because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

9 Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!

10 You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.

11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.

12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!
