Habakkuk:2:2 @
Then the LORD answered me and said , "
Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets ,
That the one who reads it may run .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:3 " @
For the vision is yet for the appointed time ;
It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail .
Though it tarries ,
wait for it ;
For it will certainly come ,
it will not delay .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:4 " @
Behold ,
as for the proud one ,
His soul is not right within him ;
But the righteous will live by his faith .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:5 " @
Furthermore ,
wine betrays the haughty man ,
So that he does not stay at home .
He enlarges his appetite like Sheol ,
And he is like death ,
never satisfied .
He also gathers to himself all nations And collects to himself all peoples .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:6 " @
Will not all of these take up a taunt-song against him ,
Even mockery and insinuations against him And say , '
Woe to him who increases what is not his --
For how long --
And makes himself rich with loans ?'
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:7 " @
Will not your creditors rise up suddenly ,
And those who collect from you awaken ?
Indeed ,
you will become plunder for them .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:8 " @
Because you have looted many nations ,
All the remainder of the peoples will loot you --
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land ,
To the town and all its inhabitants .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:9 " @
Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house To put his nest on high ,
To be delivered from the hand of calamity !
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:10 " @
You have devised a shameful thing for your house By cutting off many peoples ;
So you are sinning against yourself .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:11 " @
Surely the stone will cry out from the wall ,
And the rafter will answer it from the framework .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:12 " @
Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed And founds a town with violence !
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:13 " @
Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts That peoples toil for fire ,
And nations grow weary for nothing ?
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:14 " @
For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD ,
As the waters cover the sea .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:15 " @
Woe to you who make your neighbors drink ,
Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk So as to look on their nakedness !
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:16 " @
You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor .
Now you yourself drink and expose your own nakedness .
The cup in the LORD '
S right hand will come around to you ,
And utter disgrace will come upon your glory .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:17 " @
For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you ,
And the devastation of its beasts by which you terrified them ,
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land ,
To the town and all its inhabitants .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:18 " @
What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it ,
Or an image ,
a teacher of falsehood ?
For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:19 " @
Woe to him who says to a piece of wood , '
Awake !'
To a mute stone , '
Arise !'
And that is your teacher ?
Behold ,
it is overlaid with gold and silver ,
And there is no breath at all inside it .
nasb @
Habakkuk:2:20 " @
But the LORD is in His holy temple .
Let all the earth be silent before Him ."
