That the peoples labor1 to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?

With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.
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,
1Pressing him to your abottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on1 his nakedness!
1Pressing him to your abottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on1 his nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame instead of glory.
You also—drink!
And1 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.
You also—drink!
And1 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.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you,
And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.

The molded image, a teacher of lies,
That the maker of its mold should trust in it,
To make mute idols?
The molded image, a teacher of lies,
That the maker of its mold should trust in it,
To make mute idols?
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’
To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
