“Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!”
Habakkuk 2:9 (BSB)
Context Reading
7Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey. 8Because 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. 9Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster! 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.
