Habakkuk 2:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Pity the one building a city with bloodshed
        and founding a village with injustice.
¹³ Look, isn’t this from the Lord of heavenly forces?
Peoples grow weary from making just enough fire;
        nations become tired for nothing.^[a]
14 But the land will be full of the knowledge of the Lord’s glory,
        just as water covers the sea.
