Habakkuk 2:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹² ‘Alas for you who build a town by bloodshed,
    and found a city on iniquity!’
¹³ Is it not from the Lord of hosts
    that peoples labour only to feed the flames,
    and nations weary themselves for nothing?
¹⁴ But the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
    as the waters cover the sea.
