Habakkuk 2:7-20

Won’t your creditors suddenly arise, and those who disturb you wake up? Then you will become spoil for them.  Since you have plundered many nations,  all the peoples who remain will plunder you   — because of human bloodshed and violence  against lands, cities, and all who live in them.  Woe to him who dishonestly makes wealth for his house  , to place his nest on high, to escape the grasp of disaster!  You have planned shame for your house by wiping out many peoples and sinning against your own self. For the stones will cry out  from the wall, and the rafters will answer them from the woodwork. Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and founds a town with injustice!  Is it not from the  Lord of Armies that the peoples labor only to fuel the fire and countries exhaust themselves for nothing?  For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the  Lord’s glory, as the water covers the sea.  Woe to him who gives his neighbors drink, pouring out your wrath  and even making them drunk, in order to look at their nakedness! You will be filled with disgrace instead of glory. You also — drink, and expose your uncircumcision!  The cup in the Lord’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory.  For your violence against Lebanon will overwhelm you; the destruction of animals will terrify you  because of your human bloodshed and violence against lands, cities, and all who live in them. What use is a carved idol after its craftsman carves it? It is only a cast image, a teacher of lies. For the one who crafts its shape trusts in it and makes worthless idols that cannot speak. Woe to him who says to wood: Wake up! or to mute stone: Come alive! Can it teach? Look! It may be plated with gold and silver, yet there is no breath  in it at all. But the Lord is in his holy temple;  let the whole earth be silent in his presence.
