Habakkuk 2:15-17
New Century Version
Habakkuk 2:15-17
New Century Version
15 “How terrible for the nation that makes its neighbors drink,
pouring from the jug of wine until they are drunk
so that it can look at their naked bodies.
16 You Babylonians will be filled with disgrace, not respect.
It’s your turn to drink and fall to the ground like a drunk person.
The cup of anger from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you.
You will receive disgrace, not respect.
17 You hurt many people in Lebanon,
but now you will be hurt.
You killed many animals there,
and now you must be afraid
because of what you did
to that land, those cities, and the people who lived in them.

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.
