Given by: Enoch, in his epistle, among the closing woes of the chapter. Given to: those who build houses through the grievous toil of others — and, by warning, to every builder, employer and consumer.

Grand houses in the ancient world were raised by corvée gangs, debt-slaves and day labourers whose wages could be withheld with impunity. The prophets and this epistle alike make such walls testify against their owners — as Jeremiah cries woe on him who builds his house by unrighteousness.

Woe to you who build your houses through the grievous toil of others, And all their building materials are the bricks and stones of sin; I tell you ye shall have no peace.

A woe against those whose houses rise on the grievous toil of others: such buildings are made of the bricks and stones of sin, and their owners shall have no peace. The implied duty is to build nothing — home, business or fortune — on exploited labour.
