Explore this passage in the graph6Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,
“Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—
for how long?—
and loads himself with pledges!” 7Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them. 8Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them. 9“Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
to set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm! 10You have devised shame for your house
by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life. 11For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond. 12“Woe to him who builds a town with blood
and founds a city on iniquity! 13Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts
that peoples labor merely for fire,
and nations weary 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 makes his neighbors drink—
you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,
in order to gaze at their nakedness! 16You will have your fill of shame instead of glory.
Drink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision!
The cup in the LORD’s right hand
will come around to you,
and utter shame will come upon your glory! 17The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them. 18“What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes speechless idols! Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
