Habakkuk 2:9-20
9WoeH1945 to him that getteth an evilH7451 gainH1215 for his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the handH3709 of evilH7451! 10Thou hast consultedH3289 shameH1322 to thy houseH1004, by cuttingH7096 offH7096 manyH7227 peoplesH5971, and hast sinnedH2398 againstH2398 thy soulH5315. 11For the stoneH68 shall cryH2199 outH2199 of the wallH7023, and the beam outH2199 of the timberH6086 shall answerH6030 it. 12WoeH1945 to him that buildeth a townH7151 with bloodH1818, and stablisheth a cityH5892 by iniquityH5766! 13BeholdH2009, is it notH3808 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 that the peoplesH5971 labour for the fireH784, and the nationsH5971 wearyH3021 themselves for vanity? 14For the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the knowledgeH3045 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220. 15WoeH1945 unto him that giveth his neighbour drinkH8248, that addest thy venom thereto, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest lookH5027 on their nakednessH4589! 16Thou art filledH7646 with shameH7036 for gloryH3519: drinkH8354 thou also, and be as one uncircumcised: the cupH3563 of the LORD’SH3068 rightH3225 handH3225 shall be turnedH5437 unto thee, and foul shameH7036 shall be uponH5921 thy gloryH3519. 17For the violenceH2555 doneH3605 to LebanonH3844 shall coverH3680 thee, and the destructionH7701 of the beastsH929, whichH929 madeH3605 them afraid; becauseH3588 of men’sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 doneH3605 to the landH776, to the cityH7151 and to allH3605 that dwellH3427 therein. 18WhatH4100 profiteth the gravenH6459 imageH6459, that the makerH3335 thereof hath gravenH6459 it; the molten imageH6459, and the teacherH3384 of liesH8267, that the makerH3335 of his work trusteth therein, to makeH6213 dumb idolsH457? 19WoeH1945 unto him that saith to the woodH6086, AwakeH5782; to the dumb stoneH68, AriseH5782! Shall this teachH3384? BeholdH2009, it is laidH3384 over with goldH2091 and silverH3701, and there is noH369 breathH7307 at allH3605 in the midstH7130 of it. 20But the LORDH3068 is in his holyH6944 templeH1964: let allH3605 the earthH776 keepH2013 silenceH2013 beforeH6440 him.
