Habakkuk 2:6 - The Message

"’Who do you think you are—
   getting rich by stealing and extortion?
How long do you think
   you can get away with this?’
Indeed, how long before your victims wake up,
   stand up and make you the victim?
You’ve plundered nation after nation.
   Now you’ll get a taste of your own medicine.
All the survivors are out to plunder you,
   a payback for all your murders and massacres.
