NASB
""Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts That peoples toil for fire, And nations grow weary for nothing?"
— Habakkuk 2:13, NASB
“Behold, 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?”
“Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? ”
“Behold, isn't it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?”
“Be sure of this! The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has decreed: The nations’ efforts will go up in smoke; their exhausting work will be for nothing.”
“Are not these things from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint.”
“See, is it not the pleasure of the Lord of armies that the peoples are working for the fire and using themselves up for nothing?”
“Behold, 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?”
"You have devised a shameful thing for your house By cutting off many peoples; So you are sinning against yourself.
"Surely the stone will cry out from the wall, And the rafter will answer it from the framework.
"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed And founds a town with violence!
"Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts That peoples toil for fire, And nations grow weary for nothing?
"For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.
"Woe to you who make your neighbors drink, Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk So as to look on their nakedness!
"You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor. Now you yourself drink and expose your own nakedness. The cup in the LORD'S right hand will come around to you, And utter disgrace will come upon your glory.
