RF HAB 2:1 The Prophet Watches.
I stationed myself on my watch,
And I stood on the tower and looked,
To see what He might say to me,
And what would return to my prayer.
RF HAB 2:2 And the Lord gave an answer and said,
"Write the vision quite plain on a board,
So that to it the reader may run,
RF HAB 2:3 For Quickly the vision will come,
And pants to its aim, nor deceives;
If it lingers, yet wait, for it comes,
It advances—it will not delay!
RF HAB 2:4 "Look! Inflated his soul is not true;
Though the righteous shall live by his faith,
RF HAB 2:5 And as treacherous wine elates man,
And lets him not rest in content,
But stretches his greed like the Grave,
And like Death he can never be filled,
And collects to himself all the nations,
And heaps up all peoples to him;
RF HAB 2:6 Will not they all make a satires on him?
And enigmas to turn to contempt
And say, 'Woe to him, who is great upon loans!
How long can he carry his debts?'—
RF HAB 2:7 Will they not suddenly rise for their interest?
And awake with their terrors for you?
RF HAB 2:8 Because you have spoiled many nations,
All the remnants of People shall spoil;
For the murder of man and oppressing the land,
And the City, and all who dwell there!
RF HAB 2:9 "Woe! he brought wicked gains to his house;
To build up his nest on the height!
But can he escape Sorrow's hand?—
RF HAB 2:10 You prepare only shame for your House,
Cutting off many Peoples, with loss to your soul;
RF HAB 2:11 For the stone from the wall has cried out,
And the beam of the timbers replied;—
RF HAB 2:12 'Woe! He has built up his City by blood,
And contructed its bulwarks by crime!'"
RF HAB 2:13 It is not from the Lord of Sabaoth,
That the Peoples are worn by the fire,
And the Nations exhausted in smoke,—
RF HAB 2:14 But so that the earth may be filled
With the knowledge and Glory of God,
As the waters spread over the Sea!
RF HAB 2:15 Denunciation of Tempters.
Woe! to you who give drink to your friends!
You who pour out your poison to them.
With the purposes that when they are drunk,
Then you may look down on their shame!
RF HAB 2:16 You gorge on disgrace more than honor!
Drink also yourself, and discover your shame,
The Lord's right hand cup will come also to you,—
And bring deep disgrace on your glory,—
RF HAB 2:17 Then Lebanon's horror will clothe,
And the fear of its beasts will affright,
For men murdered, and wrongs to the land,
To the City, and all who dwelt there.
RF HAB 2:18 A denunciation of Idols.
How profits the Idol you made?
The cast form, with its teaching a lie?
That the maker trusts what he has formed,—
The dumb Idol he shapes for himself?
RF HAB 2:19 Why! He says to the timber, "Awake!"
"Arise" to the dumb block of stone!
Can silver and gold lacquer teach,
When no Spirit exists in its breast?—
RF HAB 2:20 But the Lord is in his Holy Home;
let the earth in His presence be still!
