Habakkuk 2:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Ah! you who pursue evil gain for your household,
setting your nest on high
to escape the reach of misfortune!
10 You have devised shame for your household,
cutting off many peoples, forfeiting your own life;
11 For the stone in the wall shall cry out,[a]
and the beam in the frame shall answer it!
