all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
^aqfor the blood of man and ^arviolence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
9 ^as“Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
^atto ^auset his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!

^avby cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.

and the beam from the woodwork respond.

and founds a city on iniquity!

that ^azpeoples labor merely for fire,

14 ^baFor the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of ^bbthe glory of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
15 ^bc“Woe to him ^bdwho makes his neighbors drink—
you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,
in order to gaze ^beat their nakedness!
16 You will have your fill ^bfof shame instead of glory.
^bgDrink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision!
^bhThe cup in the Lord’s right hand
will come around to you,
and ^biutter shame will come upon your glory!
