Habakkuk 2:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 “Will not all of these (A)lift up a taunt-song against him,
Even satire and riddles against him
And say, ‘(B)Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself [a]rich with loans?’
7 Will not [b]your creditors (C)rise up suddenly,
And those who make you tremble awaken?
Indeed, you will become spoil for them.
8 Because you have (D)taken many nations as spoil,
All that is left of the peoples will take you as spoil—
Because of human bloodshed and violence [c]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.

New International Version
6 “Will not all of them taunt(A) him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!(B)
How long must this go on?’
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.(C)
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.(D)
For you have shed human blood;(E)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.(F)
