Habakkuk 2:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 “Behold, as for the (A)proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the (B)righteous will live by his [a]faith.
5 And indeed, (C)wine betrays the (D)haughty man
So that he does not (E)stay at home.
He (F)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 (G)lift up a taunt-song against him,
Even satire and riddles against him
And say, ‘(H)Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself [b]rich with loans?’

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?’
