Habakkuk 2:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “Just as wine ·can trick [betrays] a person,
    those who are too proud will not ·last, [have rest; settle down]
·because their desire is like a grave’s desire for death [^Lhe opens wide his throat like Sheol; ^Cthe grave or the underworld],
    and like death they always want more.
They gather other nations for themselves
    and collect for themselves all the ·countries [peoples].
⁶ But all ·the nations the Babylonians have hurt [^Lthese] will ·laugh at [taunt] them.
    They will ·make fun of the Babylonians [ridicule with riddles]
and say, ‘·How terrible it will be for [^LWoe to] the one that ·steals many things [^Lpiles up what is not his].
    How long will that nation get rich by ·forcing others to pay them [extortion; goods taken in pledge]?’

⁷ “·One day the people from whom you have taken money will [^LWill not your creditors…?] turn against you.
    They will ·realize what is happening [^Lwake up] and make you shake with fear.
    Then ·they will take everything you have [^Lyou will become their plunder].
