5 And_furthermore if/because the_wine [is]_acting _treacherously a _man proud and_not he _stays _at _home who he _has _made _large like_sheol appetite_his and_he like _the_death and_not he _is _satisfied and_gathers to_him/it all the_nations and_collects to_him/it all the_peoples.
6 Am_not these _[nations] all_them on/upon/above_him/it a _saying will _they _lift _up and_ridicule riddles to_him/it and_say woe _to the_heaps _up [that _which]_not to_him/it until when and_loads on/upon/above_him/it pledge[s].
7 Am_not suddenness will _they _arise creditors_your and_wake _up tremble_you and_become as_plunder for_them.
8 If/because[fn] you you _have _plundered nations many plunder_you all [the]_rest of _[the]_peoples because _of_bloodshed of _humankind and_violence of _[the]_land of _[the]_town and_all [those _who]_dwell in/on/at/with_them.

11 If/because a _stone from_wall it _will _cry _out and_plaster from_tree answer_it.
12 woe _to [one _who]_builds a _city in/on/at/with_bloodshed and_founds a _town in/on/at/with_iniquity.
13 Am_not there from_with YHWH of _hosts and_labour peoples in/on/at/with_mere of _fire and_nations in/on/at/with_mere of _emptiness they _grow _weary.
14 If/because it _will _be _filled the_earth/land to_know DOM the _glory of_YHWH as _the_waters [which]_they _cover over [the]_sea.
15 woe _to [one _who]_makes _drink his/its_neighbour [one _who]_mixes severe _anger_your and_even you _make _[them]_drunk so _as to _look on nakedness_their.
16 You _are _satisfied shame instead _of_glory drink also you and_expose _uncircumcision it _will _come _round to_you the _cup of _the _right _hand of_YHWH and_disgrace [will _be]_over glory_your.
17 If/because the _violence of _Ləⱱānōn overwhelm_you and_destruction of _animals terrify_them because _of_bloodshed of _humankind and_violence of _[the]_land of _[the]_town and_all [those _who]_dwell in/on/at/with_them.
18 what does _it _profit a _carved _image if/because carved_it maker_its a _molten _image and_teacher falsehood if/because he _relies [the _one _who]_formed creation_his _own on/upon/above_him/it for_doing idols dumb.
19 woe _to [one _who]_says to _THE_wood wake _up awake to_stone of _silence it will _it _teach there it [is]_sheathed gold and_silver and_all breath there _[is]_not in/on/at/with_inside _of_it.
20 And_YHWH in_(the)_palace holy_his hush in_presence_him all the_earth/land.

2:8 Note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
