Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand5975 at my watch,4931 and set3320 myself on the ramparts,4692 and will look7200 out to see7200 what he will say1696 to me, and what I will answer7725 concerning my complaint.8433
Habakkuk 2:2 Yahweh3068 answered6030 me, "Write3789 the vision,2377 and make it plain874 on tablets,3871 that he who runs7323 may read7121 it.
3 For the vision2377 is yet for the appointed time,4150 and it hurries toward the end,7093 and won't6315 prove false.3576 Though it takes time,4102 wait4102 for it; because it will surely935 come.935 It won't delay.3094 Behold, his soul5315 is puffed up.6075 It is not upright3474 in him, but the righteous6662 will live2421 by his faith.5305 Yes, moreover, wine3196 is treacherous.898 A haughty3093 man1397 who doesn't stay at home,5115 who enlarges7337 his desire5315 as Sheol,7585{Sheol is the place of the dead.} and he is like death,4194 and can't be satisfied,7646 but gathers622 to himself all nations,1471 and heaps6908 to himself all peoples.59716 Won't all these take up5375 a parable4912 against him, and a taunting4426 proverb2420 against him, and say,559 ‘Woe1945 to him who increases7235 that which is not his, and who enriches3513 himself by extortion!5671 How long?'
7 Won't your debtors5391 rise up6965 suddenly,6621 and wake3364 up those who make you tremble,2111 and you will be their victim?49338 Because you have plundered7997 many7227 nations,1471 all the remnant3499 of the peoples5971 will plunder7997 you, because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 done to the land,776 to the city7151 and to all who dwell3427 in it.
9 Woe1945 to him who gets1214 an evil7451 gain1215 for his house,1004 that he may set7760 his nest7064 on high,4791 that he may be delivered5337 from the hand3709 of evil!745110 You have devised3289 shame1322 to your house,1004 by cutting off7096 many7227 peoples,5971 and have sinned2398 against your soul.531511 For the stone68 will cry out2199 of the wall,7023 and the beam6086 out3714 of the woodwork will answer6030 it.
12 Woe1945 to him who builds1129 a town5892 with blood,1818 and establishes3559 a city7151 by iniquity!576613 Behold, isn't it of Yahweh3068 of Armies6635 that the peoples5971 labor3021 for the1767 fire,784 and the nations3816 weary3286 themselves for1767 vanity?738514 For the earth776 will be filled4390 with the knowledge3045 of the glory3519 of Yahweh,3068 as the waters4325 cover3680 the sea.3220
Habakkuk 2:15 "Woe1945 to him who gives his neighbor7453 drink,8248 pouring5596 your inflaming wine2573 until they are drunk,7937 so that you may gaze5027 at their naked4589 bodies!
16 You are filled7646 with shame,7036 and not glory.3519 You will also drink,8354 and be exposed!6188 The cup3563 of Yahweh's3068 right hand3225 will come around5437 to you, and disgrace7022 will cover your glory.351917 For the violence2555 done to Lebanon3844 will overwhelm3680 you, and the destruction7701 of the animals,929 which made them afraid;2865 because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 done to the land,776 to every city7151 and to those who dwell3427 in them.
Habakkuk 2:18 "What value does the engraved6458 image6459 have, that its maker3335 has engraved6458 it; the molten image,4541 even the teacher3384 of lies,8267 that he who fashions3335 its form3336 trusts982 in it, to make6213 mute483 idols?45719 Woe1945 to him who says559 to the wood,6086 ‘Awake!'6974 or to the mute1748 stone,68 ‘Arise!'5782 Shall this teach?3384 Behold, it is overlaid8610 with gold2091 and silver,3701 and there is no breath7307 at all in its midst.713020 But Yahweh3068 is in his holy6944 temple.1964 Let all the earth776 be silent2013 before6440 him!"
