Habakkuk 2:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Some people’s desires are truly audacious;^[a]
            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^[b] like the grave;^[c]
            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?

Doom to the one who multiplies what doesn’t belong to him
    and who increases his own burden.
    How long?
