“Look at the proud person. He is not right in himself.
    But the righteous person will live because of his faithfulness.[a]
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.
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?’
