HAB-2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, 
and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall 
answer when I am reproved.



HAB-2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, 
and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.



HAB-2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at 
the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for 
it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.



HAB-2:4 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in 
him: but the just shall live by his faith.



HAB-2:5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a 
proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as 
hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth 
unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:



HAB-2:6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a 
taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that 
increaseth [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that 
ladeth himself with thick clay!



HAB-2:7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, 
and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties 
unto them?



HAB-2:8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant 
of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and 
[for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that 
dwell therein.



HAB-2:9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his 
house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be 
delivered from the power of evil!



HAB-2:10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off 
many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.



HAB-2:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam 
out of the timber shall answer it.



HAB-2:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and 
stablisheth a city by iniquity!



HAB-2:13 Behold, [is it] not of the LORD of hosts that the 
people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary 
themselves for very vanity?



HAB-2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the 
glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.



HAB-2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that 
puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that 
thou mayest look on their nakedness!



HAB-2:16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, 
and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right 
hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing [shall be] 
on thy glory.



HAB-2:17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the 
spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of men's 
blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all 
that dwell therein.



HAB-2:18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof 
hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that 
the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?



HAB-2:19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb 
stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it [is] laid over with 
gold and silver, and [there is] no breath at all in the midst of 
it.



HAB-2:20 But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth 
keep silence before him.
