9. Woe to him who obtains profit from evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be saved from the hand of misfortune!
10. You have plotted shame for your house, cutting off many peoples and sinning against your life.
11. For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the plaster from the wood will answer it.
12. Woe to him who builds a city by bloodguilt, and who founds a city by wickedness!
13. Look! Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that people labor for mere fire, and nations exhaust themselves for mere vanity?
14. For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, like the waters covering the sea.
15. Woe to him who gives a drink to his neighbors, pouring out your wrath and also making them drunk in order to see their nakedness!
16. You will be sated with shame rather than glory. Drink also yourself, and expose yourself! The cup of the right hand of Yahweh will come around upon you and disgrace upon your glory.
17. For the violence of Lebanon will cover you, and the destruction of wild animals will shatter them on account of the blood of humanity, and the violence against the land, against a city and all the inhabitants in it.
18. What value is an idol when its carver has fashioned it, a molten idol, a teacher of lies? For he who fashioned his creation trusts in it, though making mute idols!
19. Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Wake up!’ And to a lifeless stone, ‘Arise!’ Can he teach? Look, it is covered with gold and silver, and there is no breath within it.
20. But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.”
