Habakkuk 2:5

5 Wealth[a] is treacherous,
    and the arrogant are never at rest.
They open their mouths as wide as the grave,[b]
    and like death, they are never satisfied.
In their greed they have gathered up many nations
    and swallowed many peoples.

he gathers to himself all the nations
    and takes captive(D) all the peoples.
