What does Habakkuk 2:17 mean?

The violence you did to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of animals will terrify you, because you spilled human blood and ruined lands, cities, and everyone in them. Habakkuk 2:17 - Modern Text Bible

(The oppressor’s violence against people and nature will come back to haunt him; his cruelty will not be forgotten.)
