Habakkuk 2:11-13

Revised Standard Version

¹¹For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.

¹²Woe to him who builds a town with blood,
    and founds a city on iniquity!
¹³Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts
    that peoples labor only for fire,
    and nations weary themselves for nought?
