Habakkuk 2
I
will
stand
upon
my
watch,
and
set
me
upon
the
tower,
and
will
watch
to
see
what
he
will
say
unto
me,
and
what
I
shall
answer
when
I
am
reproved.
2 And
the
Lord
answered
me,
and
said,
a
Write
the
vision,
and
make
it
plain
upon
tables,
that
he
may
run
that
readeth
it.
3 For
the
vision
is
yet
for
an
appointed
time,
but
at
the
end
it
shall
speak,
and
not
lie:
though
it
tarry,
wait
for
it;
because
it
will
surely
a
come,
it
will
not
tarry.
4 Behold,
his
soul
which
is
lifted
up
is
not
upright
in
him:
but
the
just
shall
live
by
his
a
faith.
5 Yea
also,
because
he
transgresseth
by
wine,
he
is
a
proud
man,
neither
keepeth
at
home,
who
enlargeth
his
desire
as
hell,
and
is
as
death,
and
cannot
be
satisfied,
but
gathereth
unto
him
all
nations,
and
heapeth
unto
him
all
people:
6 Shall
not
all
these
take
up
a
parable
against
him,
and
a
taunting
proverb
against
him,
and
say,
Woe
to
him
that
increaseth
that
which
is
not
his!
how
long?
and
to
him
that
ladeth
himself
with
thick
clay!
7 Shall
they
not
rise
up
suddenly
that
shall
bite
thee,
and
awake
that
shall
vex
thee,
and
thou
shalt
be
for
a
booties
unto
them?
8 Because
thou
hast
a
spoiled
many
nations,
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
shall
spoil
thee;
because
of
men's
blood,
and
for
the
violence
of
the
land,
of
the
city,
and
of
all
that
dwell
therein.
9 Woe
to
him
that
a
coveteth
an
evil
covetousness
to
his
house,
that
he
may
set
his
nest
on
high,
that
he
may
be
delivered
from
the
power
of
evil!
10 Thou
hast
a
consulted
shame
to
thy
house
by
cutting
off
many
people,
and
hast
sinned
against
thy
soul.
11 For
the
stone
shall
cry
out
of
the
wall,
and
a
the
beam
out
of
the
timber
shall
answer
it.
12 Woe
to
him
that
buildeth
a
town
with
a
blood,
and
stablisheth
a
city
by
iniquity!
13 Behold,
is
it
not
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
that
the
people
shall
labour
in
the
very
fire,
and
the
people
shall
weary
themselves
for
very
a
vanity?
14 For
the
a
earth
shall
be
filled
with
the
b
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea.
15 Woe
unto
him
that
giveth
his
neighbour
drink,
that
puttest
thy
bottle
to
him,
and
makest
him
a
drunken
also,
that
thou
mayest
look
on
their
nakedness!
16 Thou
art
filled
a
with
shame
for
glory:
drink
thou
also,
and
let
thy
foreskin
be
uncovered:
the
cup
of
the
Lord's
right
hand
shall
be
turned
unto
thee,
and
shameful
spewing
shall
be
on
thy
glory.
17 For
the
violence
of
Lebanon
shall
cover
thee,
and
the
spoil
of
beasts,
which
made
them
afraid,
because
of
men's
blood,
and
for
the
violence
of
the
land,
of
the
city,
and
of
all
that
dwell
therein.
18 What
profiteth
the
graven
a
image
that
the
maker
thereof
hath
graven
it;
the
molten
image,
and
a
teacher
of
lies,
that
the
maker
of
his
work
trusteth
therein,
to
make
dumb
idols?
19 Woe
unto
him
that
saith
to
the
wood,
Awake;
to
the
dumb
stone,
Arise,
it
shall
teach!
Behold,
it
is
laid
over
with
gold
and
silver,
and
there
is
no
breath
at
all
in
the
midst
of
it.
20 But
the
Lord
is
in
his
holy
temple:
let
all
the
earth
keep
a
silence
before
him.
