9 “Woe to him who buildsi his house by unjust gain,j

setting his nestk on high

to escape the clutches of ruin!

10 You have plotted the ruinl of many peoples,

shamingm your own house and forfeiting your life.

11 The stonesn of the wall will cry out,

and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.

12 “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshedo

and establishes a town by injustice!

13 Has not the Lord Almighty determined

that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,p

that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?q

14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the gloryr of the Lord

as the waters cover the sea.s

15 “Woe to him who gives drinkt to his neighbors,

pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,

so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!

16 You will be filled with shameu instead of glory.v

Now it is your turn! Drinkw and let your nakedness be exposede!x

The cupy from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,

and disgrace will cover your glory.

17 The violencez you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,

and your destruction of animals will terrify you.a

For you have shed human blood;b

you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
