Habakkuk 2:15-19
15“WoeH1945 to you who make 1your neighborsH7453 drinkH8248, Who mixH5596 in your venomH2534 evenH637 to makeH7937 them drunkH7937 SoH4616 as to lookH5027 on their nakednessH4589!16You will be filledH7646 with disgraceH7036 ratherH4480 thanH4480 honorH3519. NowH1571 you yourselfH859 2drinkH8354 and 3exposeH6188 your own nakednessH6188. The 4cupH3563 in the Lord’sH3068 rightH3225 handH3225 will comeH5437 aroundH5437 to you, And 5utterH7022 disgraceH7022 will come upon your gloryH3519.17For the 6violenceH2555 7done to LebanonH3844 will 8overwhelmH3680 you, And the devastationH7701 of its beastsH929 9by which you terrifiedH2865 them, 10BecauseH4480 of humanH120 bloodshedH1818 and 11violenceH2555 12done to the landH776, To the townH7151 and allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427.
18“WhatH4100 13profitH3276 is the 14idolH6459 whenH3588 its makerH3335 has carvedH6458 it, Or 15an imageH4541, a 16teacherH3384 of falsehoodH8267? For its makerH3335 17trustsH982 in his own handiworkH3336 When he fashionsH6213 speechlessH483 idolsH457.19WoeH1945 to him who 18saysH559 to a piece of woodH6086, ‘19AwakeH7019!’ To a muteH1748 stoneH68, ‘AriseH5782!’ And that is your teacherH3384? BeholdH2009, it is overlaidH8610 with 20goldH2091 and silverH3701, And thereH369 is 21noH369 breathH7307 at allH3605 insideH7130 it.
