Habacuc 2:12-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.

13. Are not these things from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint.

14. For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering the sea.

15. Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his nakedness.

16. Thou art filled with shame instead of glory: drink thou also, and fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy glory.

17. For the iniquity of Libanus shall cover thee, and the ravaging of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the land, and of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
