Habakkuk 2:2-8

2And Jehovah answered me, and saidH559, WriteH3789 the visionH2377, and make it plain upon tabletsH3871, that he may runH7323 that readeth it. 3For the visionH2377 is yetH5750 for the appointedH4150 timeH4150, and it hasteth toward the endH7093, and shall not lieH3576: though it tarry, waitH2442 for it; because it will surely comeH935, it will not delayH309.

4Behold, his soulH5315 is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteousH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faith. 5Yea, moreover, wineH3196 is treacherousH898, a haughty manH1397, that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desireH5315 as SheolH7585, and he is as deathH4194, and cannot be satisfiedH7646, but gathereth unto him all nationsH1471, and heapeth unto him all peoplesH5971. 6Shall not all these takeH5375 up a parableH4912 against him, and a taunting proverbH4912 against him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges! 7Shall they not riseH6965 up suddenlyH6621 that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt beH1961 for booty unto them? 8Because thou hast plunderedH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, all the remnant of the peoplesH5971 shall plunder thee, because of men’sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 done to the landH776, to the city and to all that dwellH3427 therein.
