Chabakuk 2:14-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. For the earth shall be filled with the da'as of the kavod Hashem, as the waters cover the yam.

15. Hoy (Woe) unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, pressing thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

16. Thou art filled with shame instead of kavod; drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered; the kos of Hashem's right hand shall be turned against thee, and utter shame shall be on thy kavod.

17. For the chamas of the Levanon shall cover thee, and the decimation of animals, by which you terrorized them, because of [shefach] dahm, and for the chamas eretz, and to the city, and all that dwell therein.

18. What profiteth the pesel (graven image) that the maker thereof hath shaped it; the molten image, and moreh sheker, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb elilim (idols)?

19. Hoy (woe) unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb even (stone), Arise, it shall teach! Hinei, it is laid over with zahav and kesef, and there is no ruach at all in it.

20. But Hashem is in His Heikhal Kodesh; let kol ha'aretz keep silence before Him.
