Habakkuk 2

English Standard Version ESV

1 I will take my stand at my watchpost and station myself on the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

2 And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.

3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.

5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor, an arrogant man who is never at rest. His greed is as wide as Sheol; like death he has never enough. He gathers for himself all nations and collects as his own all peoples. ”

6 Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say, “Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—for how long? —and loads himself with pledges! ”

7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise, and those awake who will make you tremble? Then you will be spoil for them.

8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, for the blood of man and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell in them.

9 “Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be safe from the reach of harm!

10 You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many peoples; you have forfeited your life.

11 For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the woodwork respond.

12 “Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity!

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 makes his neighbors drink—you pour out your wrath and make them drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!

16 You will have your fill of shame instead of glory. Drink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision! The cup in the Lord’s right hand will come around to you, and utter shame will come upon your glory!

17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them, for the blood of man and violence to the earth, to cities and all who dwell in them.

18 “What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him. ”

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 super custodiam meam stabo et figam gradum super munitionem et contemplabor ut videam quid dicatur mihi et quid respondeam ad arguentem me

2 et respondit mihi Dominus et dixit scribe visum et explana eum super tabulas ut percurrat qui legerit eum

3 quia adhuc visus procul et apparebit in finem et non mentietur si moram fecerit expecta illum quia veniens veniet et non tardabit

4 ecce qui incredulus est non erit recta anima eius in semet ipso iustus autem in fide sua vivet

5 et quomodo vinum potantem decipit sic erit vir superbus et non decorabitur qui dilatavit quasi infernus animam suam et ipse quasi mors et non adimpletur et congregabit ad se omnes gentes et coacervabit ad se omnes populos

6 numquid non omnes isti super eum parabolam sument et loquellam enigmatum eius et dicetur vae ei qui multiplicat non sua usquequo et adgravat contra se densum lutum

7 numquid non repente consurgent qui mordeant te et suscitabuntur lacerantes te et eris in rapinam eis

8 quia tu spoliasti gentes multas spoliabunt te omnes qui reliqui fuerint de populis propter sanguinem hominis et iniquitatem terrae civitatis et omnium habitantium in ea

9 vae qui congregat avaritiam malam domui suae ut sit in excelso nidus eius et liberari se putat de manu mali

10 cogitasti confusionem domui tuae concidisti populos multos et peccavit anima tua

11 quia lapis de pariete clamabit et lignum quod inter iuncturas aedificiorum est respondebit

12 vae qui aedificat civitatem in sanguinibus et praeparat urbem in iniquitate

13 numquid non haec a Domino sunt exercituum laborabunt enim populi in multo igni et gentes in vacuum et deficient

14 quia replebitur terra ut cognoscat gloriam Domini quasi aquae operientes mare

15 vae qui potum dat amico suo mittens fel suum et inebrians ut aspiciat nuditatem eius

16 repletus est ignominia pro gloria bibe tu quoque et consopire circumdabit te calix dexterae Domini et vomitus ignominiae super gloriam tuam

17 quia iniquitas Libani operiet te et vastitas animalium deterrebit eos de sanguinibus hominis et iniquitate terrae et civitatis et omnium habitantium in ea

18 quid prodest sculptile quia sculpsit illud fictor suus conflatile et imaginem falsam quia speravit in figmento fictor eius ut faceret simulacra muta

19 vae qui dicit ligno expergiscere surge lapidi tacenti numquid ipse docere poterit ecce iste coopertus est auro et argento et omnis spiritus non est in visceribus eius

20 Dominus autem in templo sancto suo sileat a facie eius omnis terra
