The Answers Habakkuk Again
While standing guard on the watchtower, I waited for the Lord's answer, before explaining the reason for my complaint.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 Then the Lord told me: “I will give you my message in the form of a vision. Write it clearly enough to be read at a glance. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 At the time I have decided, my words will come true. You can trust what I say about the future. It may take a long time, but keep on waiting— it will happen! For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 “I, the Lord, refuse to accept anyone who is proud. Only those who live by faith are acceptable to me.” Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Trouble for Evil People
Wine is treacherous, and arrogant people are never satisfied. They are no less greedy than death itself— they open their mouths as wide as the world of the dead and swallow everyone.
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 But they will be mocked with these words: You're doomed! You stored up stolen goods and cheated others of what belonged to them. Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 But without warning, those you owe will demand payment. Then you will become a frightened victim. Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 You robbed cities and nations everywhere on earth and murdered their people. Now those who survived will be as cruel to you. Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 You're doomed! You made your family rich at the expense of others. You even said to yourself, “I'm above the law.” Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 But you will bring shame on your family and ruin to yourself for what you did to others. Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 The very stones and wood in your home will testify against you. For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 You're doomed! You built a city on crime and violence. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 But the Lord All-Powerful sends up in flames what nations and people work so hard to gain. Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 Just as water fills the sea, the land will be filled with people who know and honor the Lord. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
15 You're doomed! You get your friends drunk, just to see them naked. Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Now you will be disgraced instead of praised. The Lord will make you drunk, and when others see you naked, you will lose their respect. Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 You destroyed trees and animals on Mount Lebanon; you were ruthless to towns and people everywhere. Now you will be terrorized. For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

Idolatry Is Foolish
What is an idol worth? It's merely a false god. Why trust a speechless image made from wood or metal by human hands?
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 What can you learn from idols covered with silver or gold? They can't even breathe. Pity anyone who says to an idol of wood or stone, “Get up and do something!” Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 Let all the world be silent— the Lord is present in his holy temple. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
