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!

drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the L

unto thee, and shameful spewing
shall be
on thy glory.

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?
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.

But the L
ORD
is
in his holy temple:
let all the earth keep silence before him.
CHAPTER 3
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

and
was
afraid: O L
ORD
, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known;
in wrath remember mercy.
3
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.

his
brightness was as the
light; he had horns
coming
out of his hand: and there
was
the hiding of his power.
5
Before him
went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

hills did bow: his ways
are
everlasting.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction:
and
the curtains
of the land of Midian did tremble.

thine anger
against the rivers?

thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses
and
thy
chariots of salvation?

according
to the oaths of the tribes,
even
thy
word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

on high.

and
at the shining of thy glittering spear.

didst thresh the heathen in anger.

even
for
salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering
the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing
was
as to devour the poor
secretly.

through
the heap of great waters.

and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people,
he will invade them with his troops.
