Job 20:27

20:27 The heavens reveal his iniquity;

the earth rises up against him.

Habakkuk 2:11

2:11 For the stones in the walls will cry out,

and the wooden rafters will answer back. ¹ 

James 5:4

5:4 Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

¹ sn The house mentioned in vv. 9-10 represents the Babylonian empire, which became great through imperialism. Here the materials of this “house” (the stones in the walls, the wooden rafters) are personified as witnesses who testify that the occupants have built the house through wealth stolen from others.
