Berean Standard Bible
Habakkuk 2:5-9
5and wealth1 indeed betrays him. He is an arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself and collects all the peoples as his own.
6Will not all of these take up a taunt against him,speaking with mockery and derision:
‘Woe to him who amasses what is not hisand makes himself rich with many loans!How long will this go on?’7Will not your creditors suddenly ariseand those who disturb you awaken?Then you will become their prey.8Because you have plundered many nations,the remnant of the people will plunder you—because of your bloodshed against manand your violence against the land, the city,and all their dwellers.
9Woe to him who builds his houseby unjust gain,to place his nest on highand escape the hand of disaster!
