Habakkuk 2:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Moreover, wine betrays an arrogant man.
He doesn’t rest.
He opens his jaws[a] like the grave;[b]
like death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers all nations to himself
and collects all peoples for himself.
6 Won’t everyone tell parables about him
or mocking poems concerning him?
They will say:
Doom to the one who multiplies what doesn’t belong to him
and who increases his own burden.
How long?
7 Won’t they suddenly rise up to bite you?
Those who frighten you will awaken;
you will become plunder for them.
