Habakkuk 2:5-8
5FurthermoreH637, 1wineH3196 betraysH898 the 2haughtyH3093 manH1397, So that he does not 3stayH5115 at homeH5115. He 4enlargesH7337 his appetiteH5315 like SheolH7585, And he is like deathH4194, neverH3808 satisfiedH7646. He also gathersH622 to himself allH3605 nationsH1471 And collectsH622 to himself allH3605 peoplesH5971.
6“Will not allH3605 of theseH428 5takeH5375 up a taunt-songH4912 againstH5921 him, Even mockeryH4426 and insinuationsH2420 against him And sayH559, ‘6WoeH1945 to him who increasesH7235 what is not his-- For howH4970 longH5704H4970-- And makesH3513 himself 7richH3513 with loansH5671?’7Will not 8your creditorsH5391 9riseH6965 up suddenlyH6621, And those who 10collectH2111 from you awakenH3364? Indeed, you will becomeH1961 plunderH4933 for them.8BecauseH3588 you have 11lootedH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, AllH3605 the remainderH3499 of the peoplesH5971 will lootH7997 you-- BecauseH4480 of humanH120 bloodshedH1818 and violenceH2555 12done to the landH776, To the townH7151 and allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427.
