Habakkuk 2:8 in Context — Habakkuk 2

6 Por acaso todos estes não levantarão um insulto e provérbios de zombaria contra ele? E dirão: Ai daquele que acumula o que não era seu, e daquele de se enriquece por meio de extorsão! Até quando?

7 Por acaso não se levantarão de repente seus credores, e se despertarão os que te fazem tremer? Tu serás despojado por eles.

8 Visto que tu despojaste muitas nações, todos os povos restantes te despojarão; por causa do sangue das pessoas, e da violência contra a terra, as cidades e todos os seus moradores.

9 Ai daquele que obtém [riquezas] para sua casa por meios malignos, para pôr no alto seu ninho, para tentar se livrar do poder da calamidade.

10 Tramaste plano vergonhoso para tua casa, exterminaste muitos povos, e pecaste contra tua vida.
