2:11For the stones in the walls will cry out,
and the wooden rafters will answer back.35
Footnotes
- 35 The house mentioned in vv. 9–10 represents the Babylonian empire, which became great through imperialism. Here the materials of this “house” (the stones in the walls, the wooden rafters) are personified as witnesses who testify that the occupants have built the house through wealth stolen from others.
