Habakkuk 2:5-11

LITV(i) 5 And also, wine indeed betrays a proud man, and he is not content; who widens his soul like Sheol. And he is like death, and is not satisfied, but gathers all the nations to himself, and collects all the peoples to himself. 6 Shall not all of these lift up a parable against him. and a mocking riddle to him, and say, Woe to him who increases what is not his! How long, then, shall he load the pledges on himself? 7 Shall not those who strike you rise up suddenly, and those who shake you be aroused, and you become a prize to him? 8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the rest of the people shall plunder you, because of the blood of men and the violence of the land, and the city, and all those dwelling in it. 9 Woe to him who robs evil booty for his house, to set his nest on high, to be delivered from the hand of evil! 10 You have advised shame for your house, to make an end of many peoples, and are sinning in your soul. 11 For the stone shall cry out from the wall, and the beam shall answer it from the wood.
