Habakkuk 2:5-9

5And moreover, the wineH3196 is treacherousH898: he is a proud manH1397, and keepeth not at rest, he enlargeth his desireH5315 as SheolH7585, and he is like deathH4194 and cannot be satisfiedH7646; and he assembleth unto him all nationsH1471, and gathereth unto him all peoplesH5971.

6Shall not all these takeH5375 up a proverbH4912 about him, and a taunting riddleH2420 against him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? — and to him that loadeth himself with pledges!

7Shall they not riseH6965 up suddenlyH6621 that shall bite thee, and they awake up that shall vex thee, and thou shalt beH1961 for booties unto them?

8Because thou hast plunderedH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, all the restH3499 of the peoplesH5971 shall plunder thee; because of men's bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 [done] to the landH776, to the city, and all that dwellH3427 therein.

9WoeH1945 to him that getteth iniquitous gainH1215 to his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the grasp of evilH7451!
