Habakkuk 2:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ It will be very bad for you! You cause your neighbours to become drunk.^[a] You are so angry that you make them drink too much wine. You are happy when they are so drunk that you can see their bare bodies. ¹⁶ But it is you who will become ashamed, not great. You will become drunk so that people see you with no clothes on! The Lord has a cup of wine in his right hand. He is ready to give it to you as a punishment. You will no longer be great, but you will be ashamed.

¹⁷ You have done cruel things to the people in Lebanon. You destroyed their animals. The Lord will punish you for the things that you have done, and you will be very afraid. You have murdered people. You have destroyed the land and the towns and the people who live in them.
