Habakkuk 2:4-6
21st Century King James Version
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith.
5 “Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people.
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his (how long?) and to him that ladeth 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?’
