Habakkuk2:11

11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

The strength of thy house accuseth thee.

As if it had a voice it cryeth to God for vengeance.

On which thy chambers are laid.

Confirms the charge against thee, and that fabrick can not be long a safe, or a beautiful habitation, whose stones and beams are shaken with the strong cries of innocent blood, and families ruin'd by the oppression of the builder.

Marginal references: Or, piece, or, fastning.; Or, Witness against it.
