Habakkuk 2:3–8

3 For cthe vision is yet for an appointed time;

But at the end it will speak, and it will dnot lie.

Though it tarries, ewait for it;

Because it will fsurely come,

It will not tarry.

4 “Behold the proud,

His soul is not upright in him;

But the gjust shall live by his faith.

Woe to the Wicked

5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,

He is a proud man,

And he does not stay at home.

Because he henlarges his desire as 1hell,

And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,

He gathers to himself all nations

And heaps up for himself all peoples.

6 “Will not all these itake up a proverb against him,

And a taunting riddle against him, and say,

‘Woe to him who increases

What is not his—how long?

And to him who loads himself with 2many pledges’?

7 Will not 3your creditors rise up suddenly?

Will they not awaken who oppress you?

And you will become their booty.

8 jBecause you have plundered many nations,

All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,

Because of men’s 4blood

And the violence of the land and the city,

And of all who dwell in it.
