¹¹ The stones in the walls of your houses will cry out against you. The beams in your roof will also shout aloud.

¹² It will be very bad for anyone who kills people so that he can build a city for himself. It will be bad for anyone who does wicked things to make his town great.

¹³ Listen! The Lord Almighty has commanded this: All the work that people do to get things for themselves is useless. The things that the nations work so hard to get will become smoke!
