Habacuc 2:8
8
Parce que tu as butiné plusieurs nations, tout le reste des peuples te butinera, et à cause aussi des meurtres des hommes, et de la violence [faite] au pays, à la ville, et à tous ses habitants.

1-3 The Coming of the Lord-what will then take place. (1)
4-5 The love of self-it grows, and man grows vile therefrom. (3)
6-7 He is held in contempt by others, (3)
8 and they pervert the goods and truths of the church. (3)
9-10 They are in their own intelligence, owing to which they are puffed up. (3)
11 They judge from externals alone. (3)
12-13 A curse rests upon those who hatch doctrine out of falsities. (3)
14 When the Lord comes, (1, 7)
15-17 he who leads others astray will then be ashamed, (3, 11)
