Habakkuk 2:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Ho, he that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, to escape from the power of evil.
10 Thou [a]hast consulted shame to thine own house, by destroying many people, and hast sinned against thine own soul.
11 For the [b]stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
