Habakkuk 2:4–10

4

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

5

Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.

6

Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’

7

9

Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
