Habakkuk 2:5-9 Moreover also, when wine betrayeth, a man, is arrogant, and findeth no rest,––because he hath enlarged, like hades, his desire, yea, he, is like death, and cannot be satisfied,––but hath gathered unto himself, all the nations, and assembled unto himself, all the peoples.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Moreover also, when wine betrayeth, a man, is arrogant, and findeth no rest,––because he hath enlarged, like hades, his desire, yea, he, is like death, and cannot be satisfied,––but hath gathered unto himself, all the nations, and assembled unto himself, all the peoples. ⁶ Shall not, these, all of them, against him, take up––a taunt, a mocking poem, enigmatical sentences––concerning him? And say––Alas! for him who maketh abundance in what is not his own, How long? that he should be burdening himself with heavy debts? ⁷ Will not thy creditors, suddenly rise up? and they who shall violently shake thee, all at once become active? Then shalt thou serve for booties, unto them! ⁸ Because, thou, hast plundered many nations, all the residue of the peoples, shall plunder thee,––for shedding Human blood, and doing violence to the earth, to the city, and to all who dwell therein. ⁹ Alas! for him who extorteth an extortion of wrong for his own house,––that he may set on high his nest, that he may be delivered from the grasp of calamity.
