Habakkuk 2:15–20

15 Woe to him who gives his neighbors drink,

pouring out your wrathH

and even making them drunk,

in order to look at their nakedness!

16 You will be filled with disgrace instead of glory.

You also—drink,

and expose your uncircumcision!I

The cup in the Lord’s right hand

will come around to you,

and utter disgrace will cover your glory.w

17 For your violence against Lebanon

will overwhelm you;

the destruction of animals will terrify youJ

because of your human bloodshed and violence

against lands, cities, and all who live in them.

18 What use is a carved idol

after its craftsman carves it?

It is only a cast image, a teacher of lies.

For the one who crafts its shape trusts in it

and makes worthless idols that cannot speak.

19 Woe to him who says to wood: Wake up!

or to mute stone: Come alive!

Can it teach?

Look! It may be plated with gold and silver,

yet there is no breatha in it at all.

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple;b

let the whole earth

be silent in his presence.c
