Bible Comments

(6-8) Woe on the reckless rapacity which has spared neither life nor property.

Habakkuk 2:6-8

6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woeb to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood,c and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
