unto him all peoples. |

thou also, and be as one uncircumcised; the cup of Jehovah's right hand shall
come round unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory. |
|

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. |

|
Habakkuk 2:18
|
|
What profiteth the graven image, that the maker
thereof hath graven it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he that
fashioneth its form trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? |
|
|
|
|
Habakkuk 2:19
|
|
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake;
to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and
silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. |
