Habakkuk 2:17 in Context — Habakkuk 2
15 Malheur à celui qui fait boire son prochain, A toi qui verses ton outre et qui l’enivres, Afin de voir sa nudité!
16 Tu seras rassasié de honte plus que de gloire; Bois aussi toi-même, et découvre-toi! La coupe de la droite de l’Éternel se tournera vers toi, Et l’ignominie souillera ta gloire.
17 Car les violences contre le Liban retomberont sur toi, Et les ravages des bêtes t’effraieront, Parce que tu as répandu le sang des hommes, Et commis des violences dans le pays, Contre la ville et tous ses habitants.
18 A quoi sert une image taillée, pour qu’un ouvrier la taille? A quoi sert une image en fonte et qui enseigne le mensonge, Pour que l’ouvrier qui l’a faite place en elle sa confiance, Tandis qu’il fabrique des idoles muettes?
19 Malheur à celui qui dit au bois: Lève-toi! A une pierre muette: Réveille-toi! Donnera-t-elle instruction? Voici, elle est garnie d’or et d’argent, Mais il n’y a point en elle un esprit qui l’anime.
