| Habakkuk 2:11
| For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
| Timber. Hebrew, "caphis (Septuagint, the insect kantharos) from the wood shall answer." (Haydock) --- The signification of the Hebrew term is unknown. It was customary to place beams of wood after some courses of stone, to strengthen the building, 3 Kings 6:36. (Calmet) --- The crimes were so crying, that if men were silent the very stones would publish them. (Menochius)
