12WoeH1945 to him that buildethH1129 a townH5892 with bloodH1818, and stablishethH3559 a cityH7151 by iniquityH5766!5 13Behold, is it not of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 that the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021 in the veryH1767 fireH784, and the peopleH3816 shall wearyH3286 themselves for veryH1767 vanityH7385?6 14For the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the knowledgeH3045 of the gloryH3519 of YhwhH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.7
15WoeH1945 unto him that giveth his neighbourH7453 drinkH8248, that puttestH5596 thy bottleH2573 to him, and makest him drunkenH7937 also, that thou mayest lookH5027 on their nakednessH4589!
