Douay Rheims Original ↷
Habakkuk 2 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
5 And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be beautified: who as it were hell, hath dilated his soul: and himself as death, and he is not filled: and he hath gathered together unto him all nations, and hath heaped together unto him all peoples.
Woe to the Chaldeans
6 Why, shall not all these take up a parable upon him, and a speech of obscure sayings of him: and it be said: Woe to him that multiplieth things not his own? How long also doth he aggravate against himself thick clay?
7 Why, shall they not rise suddenly, that shall bite thee? And they shall tear thee, be raised up, and thou be for a spoil to them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the peoples shall spoil thee: for the blood of man, and the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that gathereth together naughty avarice to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he is delivered out of the hand of evil.
10 Thou hast thought confusion to thy house, thou hast cut in sunder many peoples, and thy soul hath sinned.
11 Because the stone out of the wall shall cry: and the timber, that is between the junctures of the buildings, shall answer.
