Habakkuk 2:14

God's holinessWitness and missionHopeGod's power and sovereignty

12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!

13 Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

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 neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!

16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must 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.
