Habakkuk 2:14-16
International Standard Version
14 Indeed, the earth will be filled
with knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as water fills[a] the sea.”
Judgment on the Violent
15 “Woe to the one who supplies his neighbor with a drink!
You are forcing your bottle[b] on him,[c]
making him drunk so you can see them naked.
16 You are filled with dishonor instead of glory.
So go ahead,[d] drink and be naked!
The Lord[e] will turn against you,
and utter disgrace will debase your reputation.[f]

Habakkuk 2:14-16
New International Version
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory(A) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.(B)
15 “Woe to him who gives drink(C) to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(D) instead of glory.(E)
Now it is your turn! Drink(F) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(G)
The cup(H) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
and disgrace will cover your glory.
