Habakkuk 2:15-17
American Standard Version
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, to thee that [a]addest thy [b]venom, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! 16 Thou art filled with shame, and not glory: drink thou also, and [c]be as one uncircumcised; the cup of Jehovah’s right hand shall come round unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory. 17 For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.

Habakkuk 2:15-17
New International Version
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.
