Tree of Life Version
Habakkuk 2:5-9
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.
9Oy to one surely getting unjust gain for his house— to set his nest on high, to escape the reach of calamity!
