Habakkuk 2:15-17
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink
of the cup of his wrath,[a] and makes them drunk,
to gaze on their shame!
16 You will be sated with contempt instead of glory.
Drink, yourself, and stagger![b]
The cup in the Lord’s right hand
will come around to you,
and shame will come upon your glory!
17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you;
the destruction of the beasts will terrify you,[c]
for the blood of men and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell therein.

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.

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

you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
