Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch station upon the tower,and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.2:2And Yähwè answered me and said,Write the vision and make [it] plain upon tables that he may run to cry it out . 2:3 For the vision with repetition unseen will occur yet in the end at an appointed time it shall speak and not lie:though it tarry,[ to be reluctant ]it will pierce you and adhere for it will surely come, it will not procrastinate: 2:4 Behold his soul [which] is pridefull is not upright in him yet the just shall live by his faith. [ faith of his fathers ?] 2:5 Yea also, by wine [by wine of seduction?] covertly he deals treacherously a strong haughty man he is not satified but streches as the grave swallowing humanity he is like the grave he is never satisfied and he gathers from all the nations and collects from all of them.2:6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting conundrum, against him, and say,Woe to him that increaseth [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! commentary: this thick clay is hebrew word H5671 its chief definition is weight of pledges, heavy debts and thick clay [by a false etymology] so the parable against him and the taunting conundrum is hidden by the words thick clay. so what it is really saying is this.: [ to him that ladeth himself with weight of pledges,and heavy debts!!!] 2:7Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? commentary :the phrase shall bite specifically the word : bite is the hebrew word for is H5391 to strike with a sting (as a serpent); figuratively, to oppress with interest on a loan:—bite, lend upon usury. 2:8 Because thou hast plundered many nations all the remnant of the people shall plunder thee; because of mankinds bloodshed and [for] the violence of the land,of the city and of all that dwell therein. 2:9 Woe to him to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,that he may set his nest on high that he may be delivered from the power of evil! 2:10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off [also means scraping of from] many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul . 2:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. 2:12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood and stablisheth a city by iniquity! 2:13 Behold,[is it] not of Yähwè Xævä´ô± [ Xævä´ô± is host (of organised army ] shall labour in the very fire and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? [ commentary shall labour in the very fire : very in the hebrew also means sufficiency, enough and vanity in hebrew can also mean :emptiness : in another words: very and vanity combined = sufficiency empty! Me thinks : in the fire of Gods wrath the people shall weary themselves sufficent for restitution. what think ye? 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yähwè as the waters cover the sea. 2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also that thou mayest look on their nakedness! [ commentary I believe 2:15 is speaking metaphorically and you could say it thus: Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour the drink of seduction that puttest thy bottle of deceit to [him], and makest [him] trusting of you that thou mayest strip him of wealth leaving him naked.what think ye? 2:16Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered the cup right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing be] on thy glory. [ commentary using alternate meanings of some of these hebrew words it could tranlated as :Thou art filled with shame for glory: and let your own nakedness be uncovered as an unclean bird the right hand of Yähwè's shall mark your border as a disgrace against thy glory.
