Habakkuk 2:2-8

2Then Adonai answered me and said: “Write down the vision, make it plain on the tablets, so that the reader may run with it.

3For the vision is yet for an appointed time. It hastens to the end and will not fail. If it should be slow in coming, wait for it, For it will surely come—it will not delay.”

4Behold, the puffed up one— his soul is not right within him, But the righteous will live by his trust.

5Indeed, because this wine betrays, a proud man never rests. He enlarges his desire like Sheol, Like death, he is never satisfied. So he gathers to himself all nations, and collects all peoples for himself.

6Will not all take up a proverb against him or a scornful riddle about him? “Oy to one expanding what isn’t his! How long? Oy to one burdening himself with heavy debts!”

7Will biting you arise suddenly, and those shaking you awaken, as you will become plunder for them?

8Since you looted many nations, all the survivors will plunder you— because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land, the city and all its inhabitants.
