Habakkuk 2:4-6

New Century Version

⁴The evil nation is very proud of itself;
it is not living as it should.
But those who are right with God will live by faith.

⁵“Just as wine can trick a person,
    those who are too proud will not last,
because their desire is like a grave’s desire for death,
    and like death they always want more.
They gather other nations for themselves
    and collect for themselves all the countries.
⁶But all the nations the Babylonians have hurt will laugh at them.
    They will make fun of the Babylonians
and say, ‘How terrible it will be for the one that steals many things.
    How long will that nation get rich by forcing others to pay them?’
