Habakkuk 2:13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Is this not from the Lord of hosts:
peoples toil[a] for what the flames consume,
and nations grow weary for nothing!
Footnotes
- 2:13 Peoples toil: those oppressed by the Babylonians do not benefit from their work. Verses 13–14 break the pattern of reversal in the oracles that precede and may have been added by an editor.
