Tree Of Life Version

Habakkuk 2:10-17 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

10. You schemed shame for your house, by cutting off many peoples, so going wrong yourself.

11. For a stone will cry out from a wall, and wooden beams will answer.

12. Oy to him who builds a city by bloodshed, and establishes a town with injustice!

13. Behold, is it not from Adonai-Tzva’ot that peoples toil to fuel a fire, and nations exhaust themselves for emptiness?

14. For the earth will be filled with knowing the glory of Adonai, as the waters cover the sea.

15. Oy to one who makes his neighbor drink, who pours out Your fury, and even making him drunk In order to gaze at his nakedness!

16. You are filled with disgrace rather than glory. Drink—you too—and be uncircumcised. The cup of Adonai’s right hand will surround you, and disgrace will come upon your glory.

17. For the violence done to Lebanon will spread over you, destruction of beasts terrifying them, because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land, the city and to all its inhabitants.
