Habakkuk 2:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 “Look at you people! You get rich by cheating people, and it hurts your own family! You build your houses high on the cliffs to protect yourself from danger. 10 You planned shameful things, and that will bring shame to your own family. You have done wrong, and it will cost you your life. 11 The stones of the walls will cry out against you. Even the wooden rafters[a] in your own house will prove that you are wrong.

9 “Woe to him who builds(A) his house by unjust gain,(B)
setting his nest(C) on high
to escape the clutches of ruin!

11 The stones(F) of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
