Habakkuk 2:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² “How terrible it will be for the Babylonians!
    They build cities by spilling the blood of others.
    They establish towns by doing what is wrong.
¹³ I am the Lord who rules over all.
    Human effort is no better than wood that feeds a fire.
    So the nations wear themselves out for nothing.
¹⁴ The oceans are full of water.
    In the same way, the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of my glory.
