Habakkuk 2:8-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
8
Since you have looted many nations,
All the rest of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
9
'Woe to him who makes evil profit for his household,
To put his nest on high,
To be saved from the hand of catastrophe!
10
You have planned a shameful thing for your house
By bringing many peoples to an end;
So you are sinning against yourself.
11
For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the rafter will answer it from the framework.
12
'Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed,
And founds a town with violence!
13
Is it not indeed from the
Lord
of armies
That peoples labor
merely
for fire,
And nations become weary for nothing?
14
For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the
Lord
,
As the waters cover the sea.
King James Version
Chapter 2
8
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13
Behold, is it not of the
Lord
of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the
Lord
, as the waters cover the sea.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
8
Since you have plundered many nations,
all the peoples who remain will plunder you —
because of human bloodshed
and violence against lands, cities,
and all who live in them.
9
Woe to him who dishonestly makes
wealth for his house
to place his nest on high,
to escape the grasp of disaster!
10
You have planned shame for your house
by wiping out many peoples
and sinning against your own self.
11
For the stones will cry out from the wall,
and the rafters will answer them
from the woodwork.
12
Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and founds a town with injustice!
13
Is it not from the
Lord
of Armies
that the peoples labor only to fuel the fire
and countries exhaust themselves for nothing?
14
For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the
Lord
’s glory,
as the water covers the sea.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
now all the survivors will plunder you.
You committed murder throughout the countryside
and filled the towns with violence.
9
'What sorrow awaits you who build big houses
with money gained dishonestly!
You believe your wealth will buy security,
putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger.
10
But by the murders you committed,
you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives.
11
The very stones in the walls cry out against you,
and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint.
12
'What sorrow awaits you who build cities
with money gained through murder and corruption!
13
Has not the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies promised
that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes?
They work so hard,
but all in vain!
14
For as the waters fill the sea,
the earth will be filled with an awareness
of the glory of the
Lord
.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
9
"Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
to set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
10
You have devised shame for your house
by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
11
For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.
12
"Woe to him who builds a town with blood
and founds a city on iniquity!
13
Behold, is it not from the
Lord
of hosts
that peoples labor merely for fire,
and nations weary themselves for nothing?
14
For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the
Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
New International Version
Chapter 2
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.
For you have shed human blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
9
"Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain,
setting his nest on high
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10
You have plotted the ruin of many peoples,
shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.
11
The stones of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12
"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and establishes a town by injustice!
13
Has not the
Lord
Almighty determined
that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,
that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?
14
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the
Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land
and
the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
9
“Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
That he may set his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the power of disaster!
10
You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin
against
your soul.
11
For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the beam from the timbers will answer it.
12
“Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!
13
Behold,
is it
not of the
Lord
of hosts
That the peoples labor to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?
14
For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the
Lord
,
As the waters cover the sea.
