Explore this passage in the graph6“Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying, “ ‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?’ 7Will not your creditors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their prey. 8Because you have plundered many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder you. For you have shed human blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. 9“Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, setting his nest on high to escape the clutches of ruin! 10You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting your life. 11The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it. 12“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! 13Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? 14For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. 15“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies! 16You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed! The cup from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. 17The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed human blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. 18“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak. Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
