Habakkuk 2:10 in context

The verses around it, from Habakkuk 2.

6 Will not all of these take up a taunt against him, speaking with mockery and derision: ‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?’

7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.

8 Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you—because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

9 Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!

10 You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.

11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.

12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!

13 Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
