Habakkuk 2:5-20 Lyke as the wyne disceaueth the dronckarde, euen so the proude shall fayle and not endure. He openeth his desire wyde vp as the hel, & is as vnsaciable as death. All Heathen gathereth he to hym, and heapeth vnto him all people.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Lyke as the wyne disceaueth the dronckarde, euen so the proude shall fayle and not endure. He openeth his desire wyde vp as the hel, & is as vnsaciable as death. All Heathen gathereth he to hym, and heapeth vnto him all people. ⁶ But shall not all these take vp a prouerbe agaynst him, & mocke him with a byworde, & saye: Wo vnto him that heapeth vp other mens goodes? How longe will he lade hym selfe with thicke claye? ⁷ O how sodenly wyll they stande vp, that shal byte, & awake, that shal teare the in peces? yee, thou shalt be their praye? ⁸ Seinge thou hast spoyled many Heathen, therfore shal the remnaunt of the people spoyle the: because of mens bloude, & for the wronge done in the lande, in the citye and vnto all them that dwell therin. ⁹ Wo vnto him, that couetously gathereth euell gotten goodes into his house: that he maye set hys nest an hye, to escape from the power of misfortune. ¹⁰ Thou hast deuysed the shame of thine awne house, for thou hast slayne to moch people, and hast wilfully offended: ¹¹ so that the very stones of the wall shal crie out of it, and the tymbre that lyeth betwyxte the ioyntes of the buylding shall answere. ¹² Wo vnto him, that buyldeth the towne with bloude, & maynteneth the citye with vnrightuousnes. ¹³ Shall not the Lord of hostes bringe this to passe, that the labourers of the people shal be brent with a greate fyre, & that the thinge wher vpon the people haue weeried them selues, shalbe lost? ¹⁴ For the earth shalbe full of knowledge of the Lordes honoure, lyke as the waters that couer the see. ¹⁵ Wo vnto him that geueth his neyghboure dryncke, puttynge in gall and makyng him droncken, that he maye se hys preuytees. ¹⁶ Therfore with shame shalt thou be filled, in steade of honoure. Dryncke thou also, tyll thou stombre with all: for the cuppe of the Lordes right hande shall compasse the aboute, and shamefull spewing in steade of thy worshype. ¹⁷ For the wronge that thou hast done in Libanus, shall ouerwhelme the, and the wilde beastes shal make the afrayed: because of mens bloud, & for the wronge done in the lande, in the citie, and vnto all soch as dwell therin. ¹⁸ What helpe then will the ymage do, whom the worckman hath fashioned? Or the vayne cast ymage, wherin because the craftesman putteth his trust, therfore maketh he domme Idols? ¹⁹ Wo vnto hym, that sayeth to a pece of wod: aryse, & to a domme stone: stande vp. For what instruccyon maye soch one geue? Beholde it is layed ouer with gold & syluer and there is no breth in it. ²⁰ But the Lorde in his holy temple is he: whom all the worlde shulde feare.
