4Look at the proud enemy – the intent within him is not for good; however, the just shall live by his faith. 5Yea, also, because he transgresses (mis-uses or over-indulges) in wine, he is arrogant, nor does he keep at home, he is as greedy as sheol (the grave), and death, that are never satisfied, but he conquers other nations, and heaps captive people to himself: 6Shall they not all ridicule and taunt him with scornful proverbs, such as, ‘Woe to him that seizes and horde what is not his! How long before someone ends your abuse? 7Shall they not awake and rise suddenly and take vengeance upon you, and your ill-gotten gain be looted by them? 8Because you have plundered many nations, all the rest of the people shall retaliate against you; because of innocent men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all those that dwell there. 9Woe to him that covets and adds to his house, that he may set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of evil! 10You have plotted the ruin of many people, and brought shame to your house; by your evil deeds you have sinned against your own soul. 11For the stones of the wall shall cry out, and the beam out of the timber shall echo it. 12Woe to him that builds a town with bloodshed, and establishes a city by injustice! 13Has not of the LORD Almighty determined that the fruit of peoples’ labor is only fuel for the fire, and the nations shall weary themselves for nothing? 14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 15Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink from his wineskin until he is drunk, that you may take advantage of them! 16You are filled with shame instead of glory; but soon it will be your turn to be on the receiving end, when the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be coming around to you, and all your glory shall be turned to shame. 17For the violence you have done to Lebanon shall overflow you; you have frightened and killed many wild animals, and have shed men's blood, committing violence in the land, its towns, and upon of all that dwell there. 18Of what profit are the carved images that its maker has engraved; or the molten images of a teacher of lies, to cause people to trust in them or other dumb idols? 19Woe to him that says to wood, “Awake”; to the dumb stone, “Arise, give me guidance!” Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it. 20The LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.
