Habakkuk 2:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 And indeed, (A)wine betrays the (B)haughty man
So that he does not (C)stay at home.
He (D)enlarges his appetite like Sheol,
And he is like death, never satisfied.
He also gathers to himself all nations
And assembles to himself all peoples.
6 “Will not all of these (E)lift up a taunt-song against him,
Even satire and riddles against him
And say, ‘(F)Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself [a]rich with loans?’
7 Will not [b]your creditors (G)rise up suddenly,
And those who make you tremble awaken?
Indeed, you will become spoil for them.
