New Testament

Habakkuk 2:10-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. You plan shame for your own house,cutting off many peoplesand sinning against your own life.

11. A stone will cry out from a village wall,and a tree branch will respond.

12. Pity the one building a city with bloodshedand founding a village with injustice.

13. Look, isn’t this from the Lord of heavenly forces?Peoples grow weary from making just enough fire;nations become tired for nothing.

14. But the land will be full of the knowledge of the Lord’s glory,just as water covers the sea.

15. Doom to the one who makes his companions drunk,pouring out your wrath in order to see them naked.

16. You have drunk your fill of dishonor rather than glory.So drink and stagger.The cup of the Lord’s strong hand will come around to you;disgrace will engulf you.

17. Because of the violence done to Lebanon, he will overwhelm you;the destruction of animals will terrify you,as will human bloodshed and violence throughout the land, the villages,and all their inhabitants.
