Habakkuk 2:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
14 But the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
15 ‘Alas for you who make your neighbours drink,
pouring out your wrath[a] until they are drunk,
in order to gaze on their nakedness!’
16 You will be sated with contempt instead of glory.
Drink, you yourself, and stagger![b]
The cup in the Lord’s right hand
will come around to you,
and shame will come upon your glory!

Habakkuk 2:14-16
New King James Version
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 gives drink to his neighbor,
[a]Pressing him to your (A)bottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on [b]his nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame instead of glory.
You also—drink!
And [c]be exposed as uncircumcised!
The cup of the Lord’s right hand will be turned against you,
And utter shame will be on your glory.
