Habakkuk 2:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ Look now! The enemy is very proud. They do not want to do what is right.^[a] But righteous people will live because of their faith in God.

⁵ Wine will destroy that proud enemy.^[b] They do not stop attacking other people. They never have enough for themselves. They are like death that is so hungry that it eats as much as it can. The deep hole of death eats everything. The cruel enemy is like that! They want all the nations to belong to them. They catch everyone to be their prisoners.

⁶ But one day, their prisoners will laugh at them. The people will insult that proud nation with songs and proverbs. They will say, “You have stored for yourselves many valuable things that do not belong to you. It will be very bad for you! You have robbed other nations so that you can be rich. This will not continue much longer!”
