Habacuc 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Habakkuk 2:10

Thou hast consulted shame to thy house
Instead of bringing real honour and glory to their church, and that into the esteem of men, by such covetousness, ambition, and arrogance, they brought it into shame and disgrace, especially with all good men; and which they as effectually did as if they had studied it, and as if this was the thing they had in view in all their schemes and measures: this they procured by cutting off many people;
by making war with the saints, and killing great multitudes of them with the sword, as the Waldenses and Albigenses, and many of the Protestants by fire and faggot; and also by cutting off all such they called heretics and schismatics, with their anathemas and excommunications; neither of which were to their honour, but to their eternal infamy: and hast sinned [against] thy soul;
and exposed it to eternal damnation; that is, they sinned against the light and dictates of their own consciences, which is an aggravation of their sin, and might justly cause shame and confusion of mind.

Habacuc 2:10 In-Context

8 Debido a que saqueaste a muchas naciones,
ahora todos los sobrevivientes te saquearán a ti.
Cometiste asesinatos por toda la tierra
y llenaste los pueblos de violencia.

9 »¡Qué aflicción te espera a ti que construyes mansiones
con dinero deshonesto!
Crees que tu riqueza comprará seguridad
y así pondrás el nido familiar fuera de peligro.

10 Sin embargo, por causa de los asesinatos que cometiste,
deshonraste tu nombre y te costó la vida.

11 Hasta las piedras de los muros gritan contra ti
y las vigas de los techos le hacen eco a la queja.

12 »¡Qué aflicción te espera a ti que construyes ciudades
con el dinero adquirido mediante el crimen y la corrupción!
