Book 22 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - HABAKKUK - Chapter 002

02:001

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look out to see what He will speak by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved

02:002

And HaShem answered me, and said: 'Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that a man may read it swiftly

02:003

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it declareth of the end, and doth not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.

02:004

Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith

02:005

Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous dealer; the haughty man abideth not; he who enlargeth his desire as the nether-world, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples

02:006

Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say: 'Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with many pledges!

02:007

Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall exact interest of thee, and awake that shall violently shake thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them

02:008

Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein

02:009

Woe to him that gaineth evil gains for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil

02:010

Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast forfeited thy life

02:011

For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it

02:012

Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity

02:013

Behold, is it not of HaShem of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity

02:014

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of HaShem, as the waters cover the sea

02:015

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy venom thereto, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness

02:016

Thou art filled with shame instead of glory, drink thou also, and be uncovered; the cup of HaShem'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and filthiness shall be upon thy glory

02:017

For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein

02:018

What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it, even the molten image, and the teacher of lies; that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols

02:019

Woe unto him that saith to the wood: 'Awake', to the dumb stone: 'Arise!' Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it

02:020

But HaShem is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him
