ylt @Habakkuk:2:1 @On my charge I stand , and I station myself on a bulwark , and I watch to see what He doth speak against me , and what I do reply to my reproof . ylt @Habakkuk:2:2 @And Jehovah answereth me and saith : 'Write a vision , and explain on the tables , That he may run who is reading it . ylt @Habakkuk:2:3 @For yet the vision [is ] for a season , And it breatheth for the end , and doth not lie , If it tarry , wait for it , For surely it cometh , it is not late . ylt @Habakkuk:2:4 @Lo , a presumptuous one ! Not upright is his soul within him , And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth . ylt @Habakkuk:2:5 @And also , because the wine [is ] treacherous , A man is haughty , and remaineth not at home , Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul , And is as death that is not satisfied , And doth gather unto itself all the nations , And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples , ylt @Habakkuk:2:6 @Do not these -- all of them -- against him a simile taken up , And a moral of acute sayings for him , And say , Wo [to ] him who is multiplying [what is ] not his ? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges ? ylt @Habakkuk:2:7 @Do not thy usurers instantly rise up , And those shaking thee awake up , And thou hast been for a spoil to them ? ylt @Habakkuk:2:8 @Because thou hast spoiled many nations , Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples , Because of man 's blood , and of violence [to ] the land , [To ] the city , and [to ] all dwelling in it . ylt @Habakkuk:2:9 @Wo [to ] him who is gaining evil gain for his house , To set on high his nest , To be delivered from the hand of evil , ylt @Habakkuk:2:10 @Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house , To cut off many peoples , and sinful [is ] thy soul . ylt @Habakkuk:2:11 @For a stone from the wall doth cry out , And a holdfast from the wood answereth it . ylt @Habakkuk:2:12 @Wo [to ] him who is building a city by blood , And establishing a city by iniquity . ylt @Habakkuk:2:13 @Lo , is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire , And nations for vanity are weary ? ylt @Habakkuk:2:14 @For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah , As waters cover [the bottom of ] a sea . ylt @Habakkuk:2:15 @Wo [to ] him who is giving drink to his neighbour , Pouring out thy bottle , and also making drunk , In order to look on their nakedness . ylt @Habakkuk:2:16 @Thou hast been filled -- shame without honour , Drink thou also , and be uncircumcised , Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah , And shameful spewing [is ] on thine honour . ylt @Habakkuk:2:17 @For violence [to ] Lebanon doth cover thee , And spoil of beasts doth affright them , Because of man 's blood , and of violence [to ] the land , [To ] the city , and [to ] all dwelling in it . ylt @Habakkuk:2:18 @What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it ? A molten image and teacher of falsehood , That trusted hath the former on his own formation -- to make dumb idols ? ylt @Habakkuk:2:19 @Wo [to ] him who is saying to wood , 'Awake ,' 'Stir up ,' to a dumb stone , It a teacher ! lo , it is overlaid -- gold and silver , And there is no spirit in its midst . ylt @Habakkuk:2:20 @And Jehovah [is ] in His holy temple , Be silent before Him , all the earth !
