— Habakkuk 2:12, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!”
“Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity! ”
“Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!”
“Woe to the one who builds a city by bloodshed– he who starts a town by unjust deeds.”
“Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.”
“A curse on him who is building a place with blood, and basing a town on evil-doing!”
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!
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
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?
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
