Habakkuk 2:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 “Alas for you who make your neighbors drink,
pouring out your wrath until they are drunk,
in order to gaze on their nakedness!”(A)
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!(B)
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.(C)

15 “Woe to him who gives drink(A) to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(B) instead of glory.(C)
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.
17 The violence(G) you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
and your destruction of animals will terrify you.(H)
For you have shed human blood;(I)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
