Habakkuk 2:5

and like death, they are never satisfied.
In their greed they have gathered up many nations
and swallowed many peoples.

Habakkuk 2:5
New King James Version
Woe to the Wicked
5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
He is a proud man,
And he does not stay at home.
Because he (A)enlarges his desire as [a]hell,
And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,
He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.
