Habakkuk 2:11-13
New King James Version

11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the beam from the timbers will answer it.

12 “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
That the peoples labor [a]to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?
