New Testament

Habakkuk 2:10-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. You have devised confusion for your house, you have cut to pieces many peoples, and your soul has sinned.

11. For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the wood that is between the joints of the building will respond.

12. Woe to him who builds a town with blood and prepares a city by iniquity.

13. Are not these things before the Lord of hosts? For the people will labor amid a great fire, and the nations will labor in emptiness, and they will fail.

14. For the earth shall be filled, that they might know the glory of the Lord, like the waters spreading over the sea.

15. Woe to anyone who gives a drink to a friend, releasing a drug and inebriating, so as to look upon their nakedness.

16. You are filled with disgrace in place of glory. So then, drink and fall fast asleep, for the cup of the right hand of the Lord will surround you, and a disgraceful vomit will cover your glory.

17. For the iniquity of Lebanon will cover you, and the devastation of animals which will deter them from the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth and the city, and of all who dwell therein.
