Habakkuk 2:12-14

Revised Standard Version

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 only for fire,
    and nations weary themselves for nought?
¹⁴ For the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
    as the waters cover the sea.
