New Testament

Habakkuk 2:16-20 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

16. You will be filled with shame instead of glory.Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed!The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming round to you,and disgrace will cover your glory.

17. The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,and your destruction of animals will terrify you.For you have shed human blood;you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.

18. ‘Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman?Or an image that teaches lies?For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;he makes idols that cannot speak.

19. Woe to him who says to wood, “Come to life!”Or to lifeless stone, “Wake up!”Can it give guidance?It is covered with gold and silver;there is no breath in it.’

20. The Lord is in his holy temple;let all the earth be silent before him.
