New King James Version

Habakkuk 2:11-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. For the stone will cry out from the wall,And the beam from the timbers will answer it.

12. “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,Who establishes a city by iniquity!

13. Behold, is it not of the Lord of hostsThat the peoples labor to feed the fire,And nations weary themselves in vain?

14. For the earth will be filledWith the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,As the waters cover the sea.

15. “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,Pressing him to your bottle,Even to make him drunk,That you may look on his nakedness!

16. You are filled with shame instead of glory.You also—drink!And be exposed as uncircumcised!The cup of the Lord’s right hand will be turned against you,And utter shame will be on your glory.
