Habakkuk 2:5-10

Habakkuk 2:5-10

[5] Yea also, because he transgresseth  by wine,  he is a proud  man,  neither keepeth at home,  who enlargeth  his desire  as hell,  and is as death,  and cannot be satisfied,  but gathereth  unto him all nations,  and heapeth  unto him all people:  [6] Shall not all these take up  a parable  against him, and a taunting  proverb  against him, and say,  Woe  to him that increaseth  that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth  himself with thick clay!  [7] Shall they not rise up  suddenly  that shall bite  that shall vex  thee, and thou shalt be for booties  unto them? [8] Because thou hast spoiled  many  nations,  all the remnant  of the people  shall spoil  thee; because of men's  blood,  and for the violence  of the land,  of the city,  and of all that dwell  therein. [9] Woe  to him that coveteth  an evil  covetousness  to his house,  that he may set  his nest  on high,  that he may be delivered  from the power  of evil!  [10] Thou hast consulted  shame  to thy house  by cutting off  many  people,  and hast sinned  against thy soul.
