Charles Ellicott Commentary Habakkuk 2:12-14

"Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea." — Habakkuk 2:12-14 (ASV)

“Woe on the extension of Babylon by oppression and enforced labour.”
