Habakkuk 2

1I will stand^H5975 upon my watch^H4931, and set^H3320 me upon the tower^H4692, and will look^H7200 forth to see^H7200 what he will speak^H1696 with me, and what I shall answer^H7725 concerning my complaint^H8433. 2And Jehovah^H3068 answered^H6030 me, and said^H559, Write^H3789 the vision^H2377, and make it plain^H874 upon tablets^H3871, that he may run^H7323 that readeth^H7121 it. 3For the vision^H2377 is yet for the appointed time^H4150, and it hasteth toward the end^H7093, and shall^H6315 not lie^H3576: though it tarry^H4102, wait^H2442 for it; because it will surely^H935 come^H935, it will not delay^H309. 4Behold, his soul^H5315 is puffed up^H6075, it is not upright^H3474 in him; but the righteous^H6662 shall live^H2421 by his faith^H530. 5Yea, moreover, wine^H3196 is treacherous^H898, a haughty^H3093 man^H1397, that keepeth not at home^H5115; who enlargeth^H7337 his desire^H5315 as Sheol^H7585, and he is as death^H4194, and cannot be satisfied^H7646, but gathereth^H622 unto him all nations^H1471, and heapeth^H6908 unto him all peoples^H5971. 6Shall not all these take up^H5375 a parable^H4912 against him, and a taunting^H4426 proverb^H2420 against him, and say^H559, Woe^H1945 to him that increaseth^H7235 that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth^H3513 himself with pledges^H5671! 7Shall they not rise up^H6965 suddenly^H6621 that shall bite^H5391 thee, and awake^H3364 that shall vex^H2111 thee, and thou shalt be for booty^H4933 unto them? 8Because thou hast plundered^H7997 many^H7227 nations^H1471, all the remnant^H3499 of the peoples^H5971 shall plunder^H7997 thee, because of men's^H120 blood^H1818, and for the violence^H2555 done to the land^H776, to the city^H7151 and to all that dwell^H3427 therein. 9Woe^H1945 to him that getteth^H1214 an evil^H7451 gain^H1215 for his house^H1004, that he may set^H7760 his nest^H7064 on high^H4791, that he may be delivered^H5337 from the hand^H3709 of evil^H7451! 10Thou hast devised^H3289 shame^H1322 to thy house^H1004, by cutting off^H7096 many^H7227 peoples^H5971, and hast sinned^H2398 against thy soul^H5315. 11For the stone^H68 shall cry out^H2199 of the wall^H7023, and the beam out^H3714 of the timber^H6086 shall answer^H6030 it. 12Woe^H1945 to him that buildeth^H1129 a town^H5892 with blood^H1818, and establisheth^H3559 a city^H7151 by iniquity^H5766! 13Behold, is it not of Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 that the peoples^H5971 labor^H3021 for the^H1767 fire^H784, and the nations^H3816 weary^H3286 themselves for^H1767 vanity^H7385? 14For the earth^H776 shall be filled^H4390 with the knowledge^H3045 of the glory^H3519 of Jehovah^H3068, as the waters^H4325 cover^H3680 the sea^H3220. 15Woe^H1945 unto him that giveth his neighbor^H7453 drink^H8248, to thee that addest^H5596 thy venom^H2573, and makest him drunken^H7937 also, that thou mayest look^H5027 on their nakedness^H4589! 16Thou art filled^H7646 with shame^H7036, and not glory^H3519: drink^H8354 thou also, and be as one uncircumcised^H6188; the cup^H3563 of Jehovah's^H3068 right hand^H3225 shall come round^H5437 unto thee, and foul shame^H7022 shall be upon thy glory^H3519. 17For the violence^H2555 done to Lebanon^H3844 shall cover^H3680 thee, and the destruction^H7701 of the beasts^H929, which made them afraid^H2865; because of men's^H120 blood^H1818, and for the violence^H2555 done to the land^H776, to the city^H7151 and to all that dwell^H3427 therein. 18What profiteth^H3276 the graven image^H6459, that the maker^H3335 thereof hath graven^H6458 it; the molten image^H4541, even the teacher^H3384 of lies^H8267, that he that fashioneth^H3335 its form^H3336 trusteth^H982 therein, to make^H6213 dumb^H483 idols^H457? 19Woe^H1945 unto him that saith^H559 to the wood^H6086, Awake^H6974; to the dumb^H1748 stone^H68, Arise^H5782! Shall this teach^H3384? Behold, it is overlaid^H8610 with gold^H2091 and silver^H3701, and there is no breath^H7307 at all in the midst^H7130 of it. 20But Jehovah^H3068 is in his holy^H6944 temple^H1964: let all the earth^H776 keep silence^H2013 before^H6440 him.
