Habakkuk 2:15 in Context — Habakkuk 2

13 ¿No es esto de Jehová de los ejércitos? Los pueblos pues trabajarán para el fuego, y las gentes se fatigarán en vano.

14 Porque la tierra será llena de conocimiento de la gloria de Jehová, como las aguas cubren la mar.

15 ¡Ay del que da de beber á sus compañeros, que [les] acercas tu hiel y embriagas, para mirar sus desnudeces!

16 Haste llenado de deshonra más que de honra: bebe tú también, y serás descubierto; el cáliz de la mano derecha de Jehová volverá sobre ti, y vómito de afrenta sobre tu gloria.

17 Porque la rapiña del Líbano caerá sobre ti, y la destrucción de las fieras lo quebrantará; á causa de las sangres humanas, y del robo de la tierra, de las ciudades, y de todos los que en ellas moraban.
