Habakkuk 2:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 Will not [a]your creditors (A)rise up suddenly,
And those who make you tremble awaken?
Indeed, you will become spoil for them.
8 Because you have (B)taken many nations as spoil,
All that is left of the peoples will take you as spoil—
Because of human bloodshed and violence [b]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
9 “Woe to him who is greedy for (C)evil gain for his house
To (D)put his nest on high,
To be delivered from the hand of evil!
