Habakkuk 2:6-11
Legacy Standard Bible
6 “Will not all of these (A)lift up a taunt-song against him,
Even satire and riddles against him
And say, ‘(B)Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself [a]rich with loans?’
7 Will not [b]your creditors (C)rise up suddenly,
And those who make you tremble awaken?
Indeed, you will become spoil for them.
8 Because you have (D)taken many nations as spoil,
All that is left of the peoples will take you as spoil—
Because of human bloodshed and violence [c]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
9 “Woe to him who is greedy for (E)evil gain for his house
To (F)put his nest on high,
To be delivered from the hand of evil!
10 You have counseled a (G)shameful thing for your house
By cutting off many peoples;
So you are (H)sinning against your own soul.
11 Surely the (I)stone will cry out from the wall,
And the rafter will answer it from the [d]framework.
