Habakkuk 2:14-16
International Standard Version
14 Indeed, the earth will be filled
with knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as water fills[a] the sea.”
Judgment on the Violent
15 “Woe to the one who supplies his neighbor with a drink!
You are forcing your bottle[b] on him,[c]
making him drunk so you can see them naked.
16 You are filled with dishonor instead of glory.
So go ahead,[d] drink and be naked!
The Lord[e] will turn against you,
and utter disgrace will debase your reputation.[f]

Habakkuk 2:14-16
King James Version
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
