New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

11 For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the rafter will answer it from the framework. 12 'Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed, And founds a town with violence! 13 Is it not indeed from the LORD of armies That peoples labor merely for fire, And nations become weary for nothing?

King James Version

Chapter 2

11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. 12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! 13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

Christian Standard Bible

New Living Translation

Chapter 2

11 The very stones in the walls cry out against you, and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint.
