New King James Version
Habakkuk 2:15-17
New King James Version
15 “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,
[a]Pressing him to your (A)bottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on [b]his nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame instead of glory.
You also—drink!
And [c]be exposed as uncircumcised!
The cup of the Lord’s right hand will be turned against you,
And utter shame will be on your glory.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you,
And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.

15 “Woe to him who gives drink(A) to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,

Now it is your turn! Drink(D) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(E)
The cup(F) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
and disgrace will cover your glory.

and your destruction of animals will terrify you.(H)
