8Since you have plundered many nations,m
all the peoples who remain will plunder youn—
because of human bloodshed
and violenceo against lands, cities,
and all who live in them.p
9Woe to him who dishonestly makes
to place his nest on high,
to escape the grasp of disaster!r
10You have planned shame for your house
by wiping out many peoples
and sinning against your own self.

now all the survivors will plunder you.
You committed murder throughout the countryside
and filled the towns with violence.

cutting off many peoples

KJV 1900King James Version
Because thou hast spoiled many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall spoil thee;
Because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land,
Of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
That he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house
By cutting off many people,
And hast sinned against thy soul.
