jps@Habakkuk:2:1 @ I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look out to see what He will speak by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
jps@Habakkuk:2:2 @ And the LORD answered me, and said: 'Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that a man may read it swiftly.
jps@Habakkuk:2:3 @ For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it declareth of the end, and doth not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.'
jps@Habakkuk:2:4 @ Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith.
jps@Habakkuk:2:5 @ Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous dealer; the haughty man abideth not; he who enlargeth his desire as the nether-world, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples.
jps@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say: 'Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with many pledges!'
jps@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall exact interest of thee, and awake that shall violently shake thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
jps@Habakkuk:2:8 @ Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.
jps@Habakkuk:2:9 @ Woe to him that gaineth evil gains for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
jps@Habakkuk:2:10 @ Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast forfeited thy life.
jps@Habakkuk:2:11 @ For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
jps@Habakkuk:2:12 @ Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
jps@Habakkuk:2:13 @ Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
jps@Habakkuk:2:14 @ For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
jps@Habakkuk:2:15 @ Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy venom thereto, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
jps@Habakkuk:2:16 @ Thou art filled with shame instead of glory, drink thou also, and be uncovered; the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and filthiness shall be upon thy glory.
jps@Habakkuk:2:17 @ For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.
jps@Habakkuk:2:18 @ What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it, even the molten image, and the teacher of lies; that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
jps@Habakkuk:2:19 @ Woe unto him that saith to the wood: 'Awake', to the dumb stone: 'Arise!' Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
jps@Habakkuk:2:20 @ But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.
