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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 16 is found in chapter 2 of Habakkuk. The image of making one’s neighbor drunk functions as a denunciation of the humiliation and exploitation of other peoples. The oppressor will be forced to drink from the cup of judgment. Violence against another’s dignity ultimately returns upon the one who practices it.

Du hast dich gesättigt mit Schande und nicht mit Ehre. So saufe du nun auch, daß du taumelst! denn zu dir wird umgehen der Kelch in der Rechten des HERRN, und mußt eitel Schande haben für deine Herrlichkeit.
Haste llenado de deshonra más que de honra: bebe tú también, y serás descubierto; el cáliz de la mano derecha de Jehová volverá sobre ti, y vómito de afrenta sobre tu gloria.
Te has saciado de deshonra en vez de gloria. ¡Bebe tú también y muestra tu desnudez! La copa de la mano derecha de Jehová se volverá contra ti, y una vergüenza repugnante cubrirá tu gloria.
Tu seras rassasié de honte plus que de gloire; Bois aussi toi-même, et découvre-toi! La coupe de la droite de l'Eternel se tournera vers toi, Et l'ignominie souillera ta gloire.
Tu sarai saziato di vituperio, e spogliato di gloria; bevi ancora tu, e scopri le tue vergogne; la coppa della destra del Signore si rivolgerà a te, e vi sarà vomito vituperoso sopra il seggio della tua gloria.
Serás farto de ignomínia em lugar de honra; bebe tu também, e sê como um incircunciso; o cálice da mão direita do SENHOR voltará a ti, e ignomínia cairá sobre a tua glória.
你滿受羞辱,不得榮耀; 你也喝吧,顯明你是未受割禮的 ! 耶和華右手的杯必傳到你那裏, 你的榮耀就變為羞辱。
