Habakkuk 2:14-20 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.

15. Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, --that pourest out thy flask, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

16. Thou art filled with shame instead of glory; drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Jehovah's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and a shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

17. For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of beasts which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein.

18. What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it? the molten image, and the teacher of falsehood, that the maker of his work dependeth thereon, to make dumb idols?

19. Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake! to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall it teach? Behold it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

20. But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him!
