2:9 The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead. ¹ 

He does this so he can build his nest way up high

and escape the clutches of disaster. ² 

2:10 Your schemes will bring shame to your house.

Because you destroyed many nations, you will self-destruct. ³ 

2:11 For the stones in the walls will cry out,

and the wooden rafters will answer back. ⁴
