The Scriptures 1998

Habakkuk 2:5-7 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. “And also, because wine betrays him, a man is proud, and he does not stay at home. Because he enlarges his appetite as the grave, and he is like death, and is not satisfied, and gathers to himself all nations and heaps up for himself all peoples.

6. “Shall not all these lift up a proverb against him, and a mocking riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his! Till when is he to load on himself many pledges’?

7. “Do not your creditors rise up suddenly? And those who make you tremble wake up and you be plunder for them?
