Habakkuk 2:1-4
Revised Standard Version
God’s Reply to the Prophet’s Complaint
2 I will take my stand to watch,
and station myself on the tower,
and look forth to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2 And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain upon tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seem slow, wait for it;
it will surely come, it will not delay.
4 Behold, he whose soul is not upright in him shall fail,[a]
but the righteous shall live by his faith.[b]

Habakkuk 2:9-20
Revised Standard Version
9 Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
to set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
10 You have devised shame to your house
by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood,
and founds a city on iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts
that peoples labor only for fire,
and nations weary themselves for nought?
14 For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink
of the cup of his wrath,[a] and makes them drunk,
to gaze on their shame!
16 You will be sated with contempt instead of glory.
Drink, yourself, and stagger![b]
The cup in the Lord’s right hand
will come around to you,
and shame will come upon your glory!
17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you;
the destruction of the beasts will terrify you,[c]
for the blood of men and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell therein.
18 What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, a teacher of lies?
For the workman trusts in his own creation
when he makes dumb idols!
19 Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a dumb stone, Arise!
Can this give revelation?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and there is no breath at all in it.
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.

New International Version
9 “Woe to him who builds(A) his house by unjust gain,(B)
setting his nest(C) on high
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10 You have plotted the ruin(D) of many peoples,
shaming(E) your own house and forfeiting your life.
11 The stones(F) of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12 “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed(G)
and establishes a town by injustice!
13 Has not the Lord Almighty determined
that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,(H)
that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?(I)
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory(J) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.(K)
15 “Woe to him who gives drink(L) 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(M) instead of glory.(N)
Now it is your turn! Drink(O) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(P)
The cup(Q) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 The violence(R) you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
and your destruction of animals will terrify you.(S)
For you have shed human blood;(T)
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18 “Of what value(U) is an idol(V) carved by a craftsman?
Or an image(W) that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.(X)
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’(Y)
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;(Z)
there is no breath in it.”(AA)
