Habakkuk 2:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Woes of the Wicked

“Alas for you who heap up what is not your own!”
    How long will you load yourselves with goods taken in pledge?
⁷Will not your own creditors suddenly rise,
    and those who make you tremble wake up?
    Then you will be booty for them.
⁸Because you have plundered many nations,
    all that survive of the peoples shall plunder you—
because of human bloodshed, and violence to the earth,
    to cities and all who live in them.
