Habakkuk 2:4-6
American Standard Version
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not [a]upright in him; but the righteous shall live [b]by his faith. 5 [c]Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, [d]that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. 6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting [e]proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges!
