Habakkuk 2:9-12 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.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ¹² Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.
