Habakkuk 2:4-6

Complete Jewish Bible

⁴ “Look at the proud: he is inwardly not upright;
but the righteous will attain life through trusting faithfulness.
⁵ Truly, wine is treacherous;
the arrogant will not live at peace
but keeps expanding his desires like Sh’ol;
like death, he can never be satisfied;
he keeps collecting all the nations for himself,
rallying to himself all the peoples.
⁶ Won’t all these take up taunting him
and say about him, in mocking riddles,
‘Woe to him who amasses other people’s wealth! —
how long must it go on? —
and to him who adds to himself the weight
of goods taken in pledge!
