Habakkuk 2:5-13 But the arrogant man and the scorner, the boastful man, shall not finish anything; who has enlarged his desire as the grave, and like death he is never satisfied, and he will gather to himself all the nations, and will receive to himself all the peoples.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But the arrogant man and the scorner, the boastful man, shall not finish anything; who has enlarged his desire as the grave, and like death he is never satisfied, and he will gather to himself all the nations, and will receive to himself all the peoples. ⁶ Shall not all these take up a parable against him? And a proverb to tell against him? And they shall say, Woe to him that multiplies to himself the possessions which are not his! How long? And who heavily loads his yoke. ⁷ For suddenly there shall arise up those that bite him, and those that plot against you shall awake, and you shall be a plunder to them. ⁸ Because you have plundered many nations, all the nations that are left shall plunder you, because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it. ⁹ Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evils. ¹⁰ You have devised shame to your house, you have utterly destroyed many nations, and your soul has sinned. ¹¹ For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beetle out of the timber shall speak. ¹² Woe to him that builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness. ¹³ Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? Surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.
