Ha 2 (King James)

¹ I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
² And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
³ For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
⁴ Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
⁵ Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
⁶ Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb 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!
⁷ Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
⁸ Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
⁹ Woe 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!
¹⁰ Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
¹¹ For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
¹² Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
¹³ Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
¹⁴ For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
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!
¹⁶ Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
¹⁷ For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
¹⁸ What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
¹⁹ Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
²⁰ But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

Ha 2 (Vulgate)

¹ [Super custodiam meam stabo, et figam gradum super munitionem : et contemplabor ut videam quid dicatur mihi, et quid respondeam ad arguentem me.]
² Et respondit mihi Dominus, et dixit : [Scribe visum, et explana eum super tabulas, ut percurrat qui legerit eum.
³ Quia adhuc visus procul ; et apparebit in finem, et non mentietur : si moram fecerit, exspecta illum, quia veniens veniet, et non tardabit.
⁴ Ecce qui incredulus est, non erit recta anima ejus in semetipso ; justus autem in fide sua vivet.
⁵ Et quomodo vinum potantem decipit, sic erit vir superbus, et non decorabitur : qui dilatavit quasi infernus animam suam, et ipse quasi mors, et non adimpletur : et congregabit ad se omnes gentes, et coacervabit ad se omnes populos.
⁶ Numquid non omnes isti super eum parabolam sument, et loquelam ænigmatum ejus, et dicetur : Væ ei qui multiplicat non sua ? usquequo et aggravat contra se densum lutum ?
⁷ Numquid non repente consurgent qui mordeant te, et suscitabuntur lacerantes te, et eris in rapinam eis ?
⁸ Quia tu spoliasti gentes multas, spoliabunt te omnes qui reliqui fuerint de populis, propter sanguinem hominis, et iniquitatem terræ, civitatis, et omnium habitantium in ea.
⁹ Væ qui congregat avaritiam malam domui suæ, ut sit in excelso nidus ejus, et liberari se putat de manu mali !
¹⁰ Cogitasti confusionem domui tuæ ; concidisti populos multos, et peccavit anima tua.
¹¹ Quia lapis de pariete clamabit, et lignum, quod inter juncturas ædificiorum est, respondebit.
¹² Væ qui ædificat civitatem in sanguinibus, et præparat urbem in iniquitate !
¹³ Numquid non hæc sunt a Domino exercituum ? laborabunt enim populi in multo igne, et gentes in vacuum, et deficient.
¹⁴ Quia replebitur terra, ut cognoscant gloriam Domini, quasi aquæ operientes mare.
¹⁵ Væ qui potum dat amico suo mittens fel suum, et inebrians ut aspiciat nuditatem ejus !
¹⁶ Repletus es ignominia pro gloria ; bibe tu quoque, et consopire. Circumdabit te calix dexteræ Domini, et vomitus ignominiæ super gloriam tuam.
¹⁷ Quia iniquitas Libani operiet te, et vastitas animalium deterrebit eos de sanguinibus hominum, et iniquitate terræ, et civitatis, et omnium habitantium in ea.
¹⁸ Quid prodest sculptile, quia sculpsit illud fictor suus, conflatile, et imaginem falsam ? quia speravit in figmento fictor ejus, ut faceret simulacra muta.
¹⁹ Væ qui dicit ligno : Expergiscere ; Surge, lapidi tacenti ! Numquid ipse docere poterit ? ecce iste coopertus est auro et argento, et omnis spiritus non est in visceribus ejus.
²⁰ Dominus autem in templo sancto suo : sileat a facie ejus omnis terra !]
