1I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint.
2Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald¹ may run with it.
3For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
4"See, he is puffed² up; his desires are not upright- but the righteous will live by his faith -
5indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant³ and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples.
6"Will not all of them taunt⁴ him with ridicule⁵ and scorn, saying, " 'Woe⁶ to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?'
7Will not your debtors⁷ suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim.
8Because you have plundered⁹ many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder⁸ you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
9"Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin!
10You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting¹⁰ your life.
11The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime!
13Has not the Lord Almighty¹¹ determined¹² that the people's labor¹³ is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?
14For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord , as the waters cover the sea.
15"Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies.
16You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and be exposed ! The cup from the Lord 's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
17The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18"Of what value is an idol¹⁴, since a man has carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? For he who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols¹⁵ that cannot speak.
19Woe to him who says to wood, 'Come to life!' Or to lifeless stone, 'Wake up!' Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it.
20But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him."
