Habakkuk:2:6-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Shall not all these take up a parable against him ,
and a taunting proverb against him ,
and say ,
Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his !
how long ?
and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay !
*
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee ,
and awake that shall vex thee ,
and thou shalt be for booties unto them ?
*
Because thou hast spoiled many nations ,
all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee ;
because of mens blood ,
and for the violence of the land ,
of the city ,
and of all that dwell therein .
*
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house ,
that he may set his nest on high ,
that he may be delivered from the power of evil !
*
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people ,
and hast sinned against thy soul .
*
For the stone shall cry out of the wall ,
and the beam out of the timber shall answer it .
*
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood ,
and stablisheth a city by iniquity !
*
Behold ,
is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire ,
and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity ?
*
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD ,
as the waters cover the sea .
*
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink ,
that puttest thy bottle to him ,
and makest him drunken also ,
that thou mayest look on their nakedness ma #
owr #!
*
Thou art filled with shame for glory :
drink thou also ,
and let thy foreskin be uncovered :
the cup of the LORDS right hand shall be turned unto thee ,
and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory .
*
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee ,
and the spoil of beasts ,
which made them afraid ,
because of mens blood ,
and for the violence of the land ,
of the city ,
and of all that dwell therein .
*
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it ;
the molten image ,
and a teacher of lies ,
that the maker of his work trusteth therein ,
to make dumb idols ?
