Habakkuk 2:15-17 Part 2 of 2

"What sorrow awaits you who make your neighbors drunk! You force your cup on them so you can gloat over their shameful nakedness. But soon it will be your turn to be disgraced. Come, drink and be exposed! Drink from the cup of the LORD's judgment, and all your glory will be turned to shame. You cut down the forests of Lebanon. Now you will be cut down. You destroyed the wild animals, now their terror will be yours. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence."

Then you will smash it to pieces and beat your breast in anguish. I, the sovereign LORD, have spoken!" (see all chapter 23)
