Habakkuk 2:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ “Look at the proud person. He is not right in himself.
But the righteous person will live because of his faithfulness.^[a]
5 Also because wine is treacherous
he is arrogant and never rests.
He has a large appetite like the grave.
He is like death—never satisfied.
He gathers all the nations to himself.
He collects all the people to himself.
⁶ Won’t all of them ridicule him,
directing clever sayings and riddles at him, like:

“ ‘How horrible it will be for the one who makes himself rich
with what is not his own
and makes himself wealthy on loans.
How long will this go on?’
