Habakkuk 2:10-20 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

10. You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.

11. For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.

12. Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

13. Behold, isn’t it of the Lord of Hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

14. For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.

15. “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!

16. You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of the Lord’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

17. For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.

18. “What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?

19. Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.

20. But the Lord is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
