Habakkuk 2:2-8

2The Lord answered me: Write down this vision; clearly inscribe it on tablets so one may easily read it.

3For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, since it will certainly come and not be late.

4Look, his ego is inflated; he is without integrity. But the righteous one will live by his faith.

5Moreover, wine betrays; an arrogant man is never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself; he collects all the peoples for himself.

6Won’t all of these take up a taunt against him, with mockery and riddles about him? They will say, “Woe to him who amasses what is not his — how much longer?  — and loads himself with goods taken in pledge.”

7Won’t your creditors suddenly arise, and those who disturb you wake up? Then you will become spoil for them.

8Since you have plundered many nations, all the peoples who remain will plunder you  — because of human bloodshed and violence against lands, cities, and all who live in them.
