Habakkuk 2:5-7 Now this arrogant and contemptuous man; this man of boasts shall not exceed a certain bound. He enlarged his soul like Hades and like death was not satisfied. When he shall have gathered to him all the nations and received for himself all the peoples,

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Now this arrogant and contemptuous man; this man of boasts shall not exceed a certain bound. He enlarged his soul like Hades and like death was not satisfied. When he shall have gathered to him all the nations and received for himself all the peoples, ⁶ will they not all take up a parable against him and a fable to tell of him, saying, Woe to him who is heaping up for himself things which do not belong to him? For how long? And making his yoke grievously heavy. ⁷ For biters of him shall start up suddenly. And the plotters against thee shall be sober and thou shalt be plunder for them.
