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?

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.
