Habakkuk 2:12-16 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

12. “Look at them! They kill people to build their city and do wicked things to make their walled city strong.

13. But the Lord All-Powerful has decided that a fire will destroy everything that those people worked to build. All their work will be for nothing.

14. Then people everywhere will know about the Glory of the Lord. This news will spread just as water spreads out into the sea.

15. It will be very bad for those who become angry and make other people suffer. Like an angry drunk, they knock others to the ground and strip them naked, just to see their naked bodies.

16. “But they will know the Lord’s anger. It will be like a cup of poison in the Lord’S right hand. They will taste that anger, and then they will fall to the ground like drunks. “Evil ruler, you will drink from that cup. You will get shame, not honor.
