Habakkuk 2:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Habakkuk 2:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) “I, the Lord, refuse to accept
anyone who is proud.
Only those who live by faith
are acceptable to me.”[a]
Trouble for Evil People
5 Wine[b] is treacherous,
and arrogant people
are never satisfied.
They are no less greedy
than death itself—
they open their mouths as wide
as the world of the dead
and swallow everyone.
6 But they will be mocked
with these words:
You're doomed!
You stored up stolen goods
and cheated others
of what belonged to them.
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
