New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Habakkuk 2
12 "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed And founds a town with violence!
13 "Is it not indeed from the Lord of hosts That peoples toil for fire, And nations grow weary for nothing?
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 you who make your neighbors drink, Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk So as to look on their nakedness!
16 "You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor. Now you yourself drink and expose your own nakedness. The cup in the Lord’s right hand will come around to you, And utter disgrace will come upon your glory.
17 "For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, And the devastation of its beasts by which you terrified them, Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land, To the town and all its inhabitants.
18 "What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it, Or an image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols.
19 "Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ’Awake!’ To a mute stone, ’Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, And there is no breath at all inside it.
20 "But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before Him."
Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
2 Lord, I have heard the report about You and I fear. O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
