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

Verse 11 is found in chapter 2 of Habakkuk. Building a house with unjust gain reveals the oppressor’s false security. Habakkuk shows that wealth obtained at the expense of others does not produce a truly secure dwelling, because even the stones of the house seem to testify against its owner.

Denn auch die Steine in der Mauer werden schreien, und die Sparren am Balkenwerk werden ihnen antworten.
Porque la piedra clamará desde el muro, y la tabla del enmaderado le responderá.
Porque la piedra clamará desde el muro y la viga de madera le responderá.
Car la pierre crie du milieu de la muraille, Et le bois qui lie la charpente lui répond.
Perciocchè la pietra griderà dalla parete, e il mattone testimonierà di ciò d’infra il legname.
Porque a pedra clamará da parede, e a trave lhe responderá do madeiramento.
牆裏的石頭要呼叫, 屋內的棟梁必應聲。
