Woe to him
Who builds his house
On Ill-gotten gain.
Though he builds walls
all around,
To protect it
from other evil hands,
The floors in that house
will whisper the truth
To the beams in the ceiling,
and the rooftops
will tell the world
You sin against your soul.
Woe to him
Who builds a town
On bloodshed.
Though its people
labor to hide the truth,
They weary themselves
in vain,
For the rest of the world
knows it is not of God.
A city built on iniquity
is a raging fire that
cannot be put out.
You sin against God!
Habakkuk 2:9-14
