Habakkuk 2:9-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. “Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,to set his nest on high,to be delivered from the power of calamity!”

10. You have given shameful counsel to your houseby cutting off many peoples,and forfeiting your life.

11. For the stone will cry out from the wall,and the beam of the woodwork will answer it.

12. “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshedand establishes a city on iniquity!”
