Habakkuk 2:4-6
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
5 And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people.
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?

Habakkuk 2:4-6
New International Version
4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous person(A) will live by his faithfulness[a](B)—
5 indeed, wine(C) betrays him;
he is arrogant(D) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,(E)
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive(F) all the peoples.
6 “Will not all of them taunt(G) him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!(H)
How long must this go on?’
