Habakkuk 2:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Habakkuk 2:12

10 You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin against your soul.

11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the beam from the timbers will answer it.

12 “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!

13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
That the peoples labor¹ to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?

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,
¹Pressing him to your ^abottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on¹ his nakedness!
