In context
12Woe to him that builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness.
13Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.
— Habakkuk 2:14 —
15Woe to him that gives his neighbor to drink the thick lees of wine, and intoxicates him, that he may look upon their secret parts.
16Drink thou also thy fill of disgrace instead of glory: shake, O heart, and quake, the cup of the right hand of the Lord has come round upon thee, and dishonor has gathered upon thy glory.
