9Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

11For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!

13Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
