Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
To consult to cut off many peoples is to consult shame to one's own house, and to sin against one's own soul. The verse stands within Habakkuk 2:3-20, which describes scenes of destruction and desolation soon to be witnessed on every hand. Those prophecies are the word of the Lord for the last day, and they shall surely be fulfilled.
That fulfillment will be as sure and as literal as the desolation that was seen at San Francisco. What is written here is only a faint description of the reality that is coming in the end. It signifies that God's judgment is coming upon the cities in the last day.
In that time evil will spring forth, while Satan drills his army and develops strong parties made ready for the great battle of the last great conflict. At the same time men in high places, supposing themselves wise, will block the way, so that the highway must be cleared for the King. Therefore all must be ready, for the Son of man will come in an hour that is not thought of.
