9 “Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
That he may ^aset his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the¹ power of disaster! ‡

10 You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin against your soul.

13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
That the peoples labor¹ to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain? ‡

14 For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.
