Habakkuk 2:8 in Context — Habakkuk 2
6 Ne sera-t-il pas pour tous un sujet de sarcasme, De railleries et d’énigmes? On dira: Malheur à celui qui accumule ce qui n’est pas à lui! Jusques à quand?… Malheur à celui qui augmente le fardeau de ses dettes!
7 Tes créanciers ne se lèveront-ils pas soudain? Tes oppresseurs ne se réveilleront-ils pas? Et tu deviendras leur proie.
8 Parce que tu as pillé beaucoup de nations, Tout le reste des peuples te pillera; Car tu as répandu le sang des hommes, Tu as commis des violences dans le pays, Contre la ville et tous ses habitants.
9 Malheur à celui qui amasse pour sa maison des gains iniques, Afin de placer son nid dans un lieu élevé, Pour se garantir de la main du malheur!
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.
