Habakkuk 2:13-15
New International Reader's Version
13 I am the Lord who rules over all.
Human effort is no better than wood that feeds a fire.
So the nations wear themselves out for nothing.
14 The oceans are full of water.
In the same way, the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of my glory.
15 “How terrible it will be for the Babylonians!
They give drinks to their neighbors.
They pour the drinks from wineskins
until their neighbors are drunk.
They want to look at their naked bodies.

13 Has not the Lord Almighty determined
that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,(A)
that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?(B)
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory(C) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.(D)
15 “Woe to him who gives drink(E) to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
