NASB
""Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed And founds a town with violence!"
— Habakkuk 2:12, NASB
“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 buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!”
"Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house To put his nest on high, To be delivered from the hand of calamity!
"You have devised a shameful thing for your house By cutting off many peoples; So you are sinning against yourself.
"Surely the stone will cry out from the wall, And the rafter will answer it from the framework.
"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed And founds a town with violence!
"Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts That peoples toil for fire, And nations grow weary for nothing?
"For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.
"Woe to you who make your neighbors drink, Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk So as to look on their nakedness!
