9 “How terrible it will be for the nation that becomes rich by doing wrong.They do those things to live in a safe place.They think they will be safe from harm.
10 You have made plans to destroy many people.This has made your own houses ashamed of you.Because of it, you will lose your lives.
11 The stones of the walls will cry out against you.Even the wooden boards that support the roof will agree that you are wrong.
12 “How terrible it will be for the nation that kills people to build a city.How terrible for that nation that wrongs others to start a town.
13 The Lord of heaven’s armies will send fireto destroy what those people have built.All the nations’ work will be for nothing.
14 Then people everywhere will know the Lord’s greatness.This news will spread like water covering the sea.
15 “How terrible for the nation that becomes angry and makes others suffer.In anger they knock other people to the ground.And they treat them as if they are naked and drunk.
