Habakkuk 2:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee, because of men’s blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the city, and unto all that dwell therein.
9 Ho, he that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, to escape from the power of evil.
10 Thou [a]hast consulted shame to thine own house, by destroying many people, and hast sinned against thine own soul.
