Habakkuk 2:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ You will be filled with shame instead of honor. Yes, you yourself will drink and expose your own nakedness. The cup in the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and complete disgrace will cover your glory.

¹⁷ You will be overwhelmed by the violence you have committed against Lebanon. Your devastation of the animals will terrify you,^[a] because you shed human blood and did violence to the land, to the town, and to its inhabitants.

¹⁸ What benefit is provided by a carved idol? It was hewn by its maker. What good is a cast statue? It teaches lies. Why would the maker trust his own creation? He makes useless gods that cannot speak.
