Habakkuk 2:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴But the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁵“Alas for you who make your neighbors drink,
    pouring out your wrath^[a] until they are drunk,
    in order to gaze on their nakedness!”
¹⁶You will be sated with contempt instead of glory.
    Drink, you yourself, and stagger!^[b]
The cup in the Lord’s right hand
    will come around to you,
    and shame will come upon your glory!
