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 peoples shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.

10. Thou hast consulted shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11. For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13. Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
