2:1 I
will
take
my
stand
at
my
watchpost
and
station
myself
on
the
tower,
and
look
out
to
see
what
he
will
say
to
me,
and
what
I
will
answer
concerning
my
complaint.
2:2 And
the
LORD
answered
me:
"Write
the
vision;
make
it
plain
on
tablets,
so
he
may
run
who
reads
it.
2:3 For
still
the
vision
awaits
its
appointed
time;
it
hastens
to
the
end--it
will
not
lie.
If
it
seems
slow,
wait
for
it;
it
will
surely
come;
it
will
not
delay.
2:4 "Behold,
his
soul
is
puffed
up;
it
is
not
upright
within
him,
but
the
righteous
shall
live
by
his
faith.
2:5 "Moreover,
wine
is
a
traitor,
an
arrogant
man
who
is
never
at
rest.
His
greed
is
as
wide
as
Sheol;
like
death
he
has
never
enough.
He
gathers
for
himself
all
nations
and
collects
as
his
own
all
peoples."
2:6 Shall
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!"
2:7 Will
not
your
debtors
suddenly
arise,
and
those
awake
who
will
make
you
tremble
Then
you
will
be
spoil
for
them.
2:8 Because
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.
2:9 "Woe
to
him
who
gets
evil
gain
for
his
house,
to
set
his
nest
on
high,
to
be
safe
from
the
reach
of
harm!
2:10 You
have
devised
shame
for
your
house
by
cutting
off
many
peoples;
you
have
forfeited
your
life.
2:11 For
the
stone
will
cry
out
from
the
wall,
and
the
beam
from
the
woodwork
respond.
2:12 "Woe
to
him
who
builds
a
town
with
blood
and
founds
a
city
on
iniquity!
2:13 Behold,
is
it
not
from
the
LORD
of
hosts
that
peoples
labor
merely
for
fire,
and
nations
weary
themselves
for
nothing
2:14 For
the
earth
will
be
filled
with
the
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
the
LORD
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea.
2:15 "Woe
to
him
who
makes
his
neighbors
drink--
you
pour
out
your
wrath
and
make
them
drunk,
in
order
to
gaze
at
their
nakedness!
2:16 You
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!
2:17 The
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.
2:18 "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!
2:19 Woe
to
him
who
says
to
a
wooden
thing,
Awake;
to
a
silent
stone,
Arise!
Can
this
teach
Behold,
it
is
overlaid
with
gold
and
silver,
and
there
is
no
breath
at
all
in
it.
2:20 But
the
LORD
is
in
his
holy
temple;
let
all
the
earth
keep
silence
before
him."
