Habakkuk 2:15-17
International Standard Version
Judgment on the Violent
15 “Woe to the one who supplies his neighbor with a drink!
You are forcing your bottle[a] on him,[b]
making him drunk so you can see them naked.
16 You are filled with dishonor instead of glory.
So go ahead,[c] drink and be naked!
The Lord[d] will turn against you,
and utter disgrace will debase your reputation.[e]
17 Indeed, the violence done to Lebanon will overtake you,
and the destruction of the beasts will terrorize you—[f]
because you shed human blood
and did violence to[g] the land, to the city, and to all who live in it.”
