Habakkuk 2:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Won’t everyone tell parables about him
        or mocking poems concerning him?

Doom to the one who multiplies what doesn’t belong to him
    and who increases his own burden.
    How long?
⁷ Won’t they suddenly rise up to bite you?
        Those who frighten you will awaken;
            you will become plunder for them.
⁸ Since you yourself have plundered many nations,
        all the rest of the peoples will plunder you
            because of the human bloodshed
            and the violence done to the earth,
            to every village, and to all its inhabitants.
