Habakkuk 2:3-5
Common English Bible
3 There is still a vision for the appointed time;
it testifies to the end;
it does not deceive.[a]
If it delays, wait for it;
for it is surely coming; it will not be late.
4 Some people’s desires are truly audacious;[b]
they don’t do the right thing.
But the righteous person will live honestly.
5 Moreover, wine betrays an arrogant man.
He doesn’t rest.
He opens his jaws[c] like the grave;[d]
like death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers all nations to himself
and collects all peoples for himself.
