Habakkuk 2:5-7

New Century Version

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.
⁶ But 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?’

⁷ “One day the people from whom you have taken money will turn against you.
    They will realize what is happening and make you shake with fear.
    Then they will take everything you have.
