Habakkuk 2:5-7
American Standard Version
5 [a]Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, [b]that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. 6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting [c]proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges! 7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall [d]bite thee, and awake that shall [e]vex thee, and thou shalt be for booty unto them?
