Habakkuk 2:12 in Context — Habakkuk 2
10 C’est l’opprobre de ta maison que tu as résolu, En détruisant des peuples nombreux, Et c’est contre toi-même que tu as péché.
11 Car la pierre crie du milieu de la muraille, Et le bois qui lie la charpente lui répond.
12 Malheur à celui qui bâtit une ville avec le sang, Qui fonde une ville avec l’iniquité!
13 Voici, quand l’Éternel des armées l’a résolu, Les peuples travaillent pour le feu, Les nations se fatiguent en vain.
14 Car la terre sera remplie de la connaissance de la gloire de l’Éternel, Comme le fond de la mer par les eaux qui le couvrent.
