Habakkuk:2:8-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Because you have plundered many nations ,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you ,
for the blood of men and violence to the earth ,
to cities and all who dwell therein .
*
Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house ,
to set his nest on high ,
to be safe from the reach of harm !
*
You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples ;
you have forfeited your life .
*
For the stone will cry out from the wall ,
and the beam from the woodwork respond .
*
Woe to him who builds a town with blood ,
and founds a city on iniquity !
*
Behold ,
is it not from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor only for fire ,
and nations weary themselves for nought ?
*
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD ,
as the waters cover the sea .
*
Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink of the cup of his wrath ,
and makes them drunk ,
to gaze on their shame !
*
You will be sated with contempt instead of glory .
Drink ,
yourself ,
and stagger !
The cup in the LORD '
s right hand will come around to you ,
and shame will come upon your glory !
