Habakkuk 2:12 in Context — Habakkuk 2
10 Tramaste plano vergonhoso para tua casa, exterminaste muitos povos, e pecaste contra tua vida.
11 Porque a pedra clamará desde a parede, e a trave desde a estrutura de madeiras lhe responderá.
12 Ai daquele que edifica a cidade com sangues, e do que estabelece a vila com perversidade!
13 Eis que isto não vem da parte do SENHOR dos exércitos, que os povos trabalham para o fogo, e as nações se cansam em vão?
14 Porque a terra se encherá de conhecimento da glória do SENHOR, como as águas cobrem o mar.
