7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee and awake those that shall take thy place, and thou shalt be for a prey unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the other peoples shall spoil thee because of human blood and for the robberies of the land, of the cities, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that covets ill-gotten gain by violence for his house that he may set his nest on high, that he may escape from the power of evil!
10 Thou hast taken shameful counsel for thy house by cutting off many peoples and hast committed a sin against thy life.
11 For the stone shall cry out from the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that builds the city with blood and founds the village with iniquity!
13 Is this not of the Lord of the hosts? Therefore the peoples shall labour for the fire, and the Gentiles shall weary themselves in vain.
