Habakkuk 2:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 You will be sated with contempt instead of glory.
Drink, you yourself, and stagger![a]
The cup in the Lord’s right hand
will come around to you,
and shame will come upon your glory!(A)
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you;
the destruction of the animals will terrify you—[b]
because of human bloodshed and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who live in them.(B)
18 What use is an idol
once its maker has shaped it—
a cast image, a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in what has been made,
though the product is only an idol that cannot speak!(C)
