Habakkuk 2:9-11 Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high… Usually, when a worldling is dead, we ask how rich he died. "Oh," say many, "he died rich; he hath left a great estate." Alas! the poor man has slept his sleep, lost his dream, and now he awakes he finds nothing in his hand. Where lies his golden heap? Only the rust of that heap is gone to witness against him; his mansion fails him; only the unrighteousness of it follows him; others have the use of it; only the abuse of it he carries to judgment with him; he hath made his friends (as we say), but he hath undone himself; so that I may justly write this motto upon every bag: "This is the price of blood." Shall I then treasure up the price of blood Parallel Verses KJV: Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! |
