Habakkuk 2:12 - The Message

"Who do you think you are—
   building a town by murder, a city with crime?
Don’t you know that God-of-the-Angel-Armies
   makes sure nothing comes of that but ashes,
Makes sure the harder you work
   at that kind of thing, the less you are?
Meanwhile the earth fills up
   with awareness of God’s glory
   as the waters cover the sea.
