Habakkuk 2:6-9 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁶Will not all of these take up a taunt against him,

speaking with mockery and derision:

‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his

and makes himself rich with many loans!

How long will this go on?’

⁷Will not your creditors suddenly arise

and those who disturb you awaken?

Then you will become their prey.

⁸Because you have plundered many nations,

the remnant of the people will plunder you —

because of your bloodshed against man

and your violence against the land, the city,

and all their dwellers.

⁹Woe to him who builds his house

by unjust gain,

to place his nest on high

and escape the hand of disaster!

— Habakkuk 2:6-9
