Habakkuk 2:12
World English Bible (WEB)
Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
In context
10 You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
