Habakkuk 2:9 - The Message

"Who do you think you are—
   recklessly grabbing and looting,
Living it up, acting like king of the mountain,
   acting above it all, above trials and troubles?
You’ve engineered the ruin of your own house.
   In ruining others you’ve ruined yourself.
You’ve undermined your foundations,
   rotted out your own soul.
The bricks of your house will speak up and accuse you.
   The woodwork will step forward with evidence.
