15“Woe to him who makes his neighbor drink;

To you who mix in your venom even to make your neighbors drunk,

So as to look at their genitalia!

16“You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor.

Drink, you yourself, and expose your own foreskin!

The cup in the Lord’s right hand will come around to you,

And utter disgrace will come upon your glory.

17“For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,

And the devastation of its animals by which you terrified them,

Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,

To the town and all its inhabitants.

18“What benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it,

Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood?

For its maker trusts in his own handiwork

When he fashions speechless idols.

19“Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’

To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’

That is your teacher?

Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,

Yet there is no breath at all inside it.

20“But the Lord is in His holy temple.

Let all the earth be silent before Him.”
