“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!”
Habakkuk 2:12 (BSB)
Context Reading
10You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life. 11For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork. 12Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity! 13Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain? 14For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
