Bishops(i) 8 Because thou hast spoyled many nations, all the remnaunt of the people shall spoyle thee, because of mens blood, and for the wrong [done] in the lande, in the citie, and vnto all that dwell therin 9 Wo he that coueteth an euyll couetousnesse to his house, that he may set his nest on hie, to escape from the power of euyll 10 Thou hast consulted shame to thyne owne house, by destroying many people, & hast sinned against thyne owne soule 11 For the stone shall crye out of the wal, and the beame out of the timber shall aunswere it 12 Wo vnto him that buyldeth a towne with blood, and erecteth a citie by iniquitie 13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hoastes that the people shall labour in the very fire? the people shall euen weery them selues for very vanitie 14 For the earth shalbe filled with the knowledge of the glorie of the Lorde, as the waters couer the sea 15 Wo vnto him that geueth his neyghbour drinke, thou ioynest thy heate, and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest see their priuities 16 Thou art filled with shame for glorie, drinke thou also and be made naked: the cup of the Lordes right hand shalbe turned vnto thee, and shamefull spuyng shalbe for thy glorie 17 For the crueltie of Libanus shall couer thee: so shal the spoyle of the beastes which he made afrayde, because of mens blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the citie, and vnto all that dwell therin
