Habakkuk 2

Gen Z: Habakkuk 2

1I'm just chillin' on my watch, up in the tower, ready to see what God’s gonna say to me and how I’m gonna respond when I get called out.

2And the Lord hit me back, saying, "Write the vision down, make it clear so anyone can vibe with it."

3The vision's on a timeline, but trust, it’ll pop off at the end; even if it takes a minute, just wait for it, ‘cause it’s coming, no cap.

4Check it, the soul that’s all puffed up ain't right, but the real ones live by faith, fr.

5For real, this dude's all about that wine and pride, never home, wanting more like it's a bottomless pit, stacking nations like it’s nothing.

6Ain't everyone gonna drop some bars against him, throwing shade like, "Woe to the one who takes what ain't his! How long you gonna flex?"

7They gonna rise up outta nowhere to bite back at you, and you'll be their easy target, no lie.

8Since you’ve wrecked a bunch of nations, now everyone’s coming for you; all that blood and violence? It’s catching up.

9Woe to the one who’s all about that greedy hustle at home, trying to set up high and escape the bad vibes!

10You brought shame to your house by taking out so many people, and now you’ve messed with your own soul, periodt.

11The stone’s gonna shout from the wall, and the wood’s gonna back it up, no cap.

12Woe to the one building towns on blood, making cities from bad vibes!

13For real, isn’t it the Lord that makes people work hard for nothing, burning out for vanity?

14The earth's gonna be lit with the knowledge of the Lord's glory, just like the sea’s all about those waves.

15Woe to the one giving their homie drinks, getting them lit just to check them out!

16You’re all about shame instead of glory: drink up, and let it all hang out; the Lord’s cup is coming for you, and it ain’t pretty.

17Lebanon’s violence gonna cover you, and the fear from beasts ‘cause of all that blood and chaos? It’s real.

18What’s the point of a carved idol? The maker’s just trusting in lies, making dumb statues that can’t even speak.

19Woe to the one telling wood to wake up and stone to rise; it’s all decked out in gold and silver, but it’s just a lifeless lump.

20But the Lord’s chilling in His holy temple; let the whole earth just be quiet before Him.

KJV: Habakkuk 2

1I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

5Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:

6Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

7Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

8Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

9Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

10Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

11For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

13Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

15Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

16Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

17For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

18What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

19Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

20But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
