Habakkuk 2:3-6

Common English Bible

³         There is still a vision for the appointed time;
            it testifies to the end;
                it does not deceive.^[a]
    If it delays, wait for it;
        for it is surely coming; it will not be late.
⁴ Some people’s desires are truly audacious;^[b]
            they don’t do the right thing.
        But the righteous person will live honestly.
⁵ Moreover, wine betrays an arrogant man.
        He doesn’t rest.
        He opens his jaws^[c] like the grave;^[d]
            like death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers all nations to himself
        and collects all peoples for himself.
⁶ Won’t everyone tell parables about him
        or mocking poems concerning him?

Doom to the one who multiplies what doesn’t belong to him
    and who increases his own burden.
    How long?
