Habakkuk 2:5-8

5YeaH3588, moreoverH637, wineH3196 is a treacherousH898 dealer, a haughtyH3093 manH1397, and that keepeth notH3808 at home; who enlargeth his desireH5315 as hell, and he is as deathH4194, and cannotH3808 be satisfiedH7646, but gathereth unto him allH3605 nationsH1471, and heapeth unto him allH3605 peoplesH5971.

6Shall notH3808 allH3605 theseH428 takeH5375 upH5375 a parableH4912 againstH5921 him, and a taunting proverbH4912 againstH5921 him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increaseth that whichH428 is notH3808 his! howH4970 longH5704? and that ladeth himselfH3513 with pledges!

7Shall they notH3808 riseH6965 upH6965 suddenlyH6621 that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

8BecauseH3588 thou hast spoiled manyH7227 nationsH1471, allH3605 the remnant of the peoplesH5971 shall spoil thee; becauseH3588 of men’sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 doneH3605 to the landH776, to the cityH7151 and to allH3605 that dwellH3427 therein.
