Habakkuk 2:6-11 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay? ⁷ Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to them? ⁸ Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men's blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. ⁹ Woe to him that gathereth together an evil covetousness to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered out of the hand of evil. ¹⁰ Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned. ¹¹ For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
