Chapter 2.

1I stood on my watch and, standing on the tower, watched to find out what He would say in me, and what should I answer about my complaint?

2And the Lord answered me and said, Write down the vision and write it clearly on the tablets, so that the reader can easily read it, 3for the vision still belongs to a certain time and speaks of the end and will not deceive; and even if it slows down, wait for it, for it will certainly come true, it will not be canceled.

4Behold, an arrogant soul will not rest, but the righteous will live by his faith.

5 An arrogant man, like fermenting wine, does not rest, so that he expands his soul like hell, and like death he is insatiable, and gathers all nations to himself, and captures all nations.

6But will they not all pronounce a parable about him and a mocking song: “Woe to him who enriches himself without measure with what is not his own—for how long?—and burdens himself with pledges!”

7Will not those who torment you suddenly rise up, and will robbers rise up against you, and you will be theirs to plunder?

8 Since you have robbed many nations, all other nations will also rob you for the shedding of human blood, for the destruction of the country, the city and all those living in it.

9Woe to the one who covets unrighteous gains for his house, in order to build his nest on high and thereby protect himself from the hand of misfortune!

10 You have planned dishonor for your house, destroying many nations, and you have sinned against your soul.

11The stones of the walls will cry out, and the beams of wood will answer them:

12 “Woe to him who builds a city with blood and builds fortresses in wickedness!”

13Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts that the nations labor for fire and the nations torment themselves in vain?

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

15Woe to you, who serve your neighbor drink laced with your malice and make him drunk so that you can see his shame!

16You are full of shame instead of glory; Drink and show your shame, and the cup of the right hand of the Lord will turn to you and the shame will return to your glory.

17For your wickedness in Lebanon will fall upon you for the destruction of the feared animals, for the shedding of human blood, for the devastation of the country, the city and all those living in it.

18What is the use of an image made by an artist, this cast false teacher, although the sculptor, when making dumb images, relies on his own work?

19Woe to the one who says to the tree, “Get up!” and to the dumb stone: “Wake up!” Will he teach you anything? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath in it.

20But the Lord is in His holy temple: let all the earth be silent before Him!
