In context

¹⁰You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.

¹¹For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.

¹²Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!

¹³Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

¹⁴For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
