Habakkuk 2:5-9

5Yea also, because he transgressethH898 by wineH3196, he is a proudH3093 manH1397, neither keepeth at homeH5115, who enlargethH7337 his desireH5315 as hellH7585, and is as deathH4194, and cannot be satisfiedH7646, but gatherethH622 to him all nationsH1471, and heapethH6908 to him all peopleH5971:1 6Shall not all these take upH5375 a parableH4912 against him, and a tauntingH4426 proverbH2420 against him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increasethH7235 that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladethH3513 himself with thick clayH5671!2 7Shall they not riseH6965 suddenlyH6621 that shall biteH5391 thee, and awakeH3364 that shall oppressH2111 thee, and thou shalt be for bootyH4933 to them? 8Because thou hast laid wasteH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, all the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall lay thee wasteH7997; because of men’sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 of the landH776, of the cityH7151, and of all that dwellH3427 in it.3 9WoeH1945 to him that covetethH1214 an evilH7451 covetousnessH1215 to his houseH1004, that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, that he may be deliveredH5337 from the powerH3709 of evilH7451!45
