Habakkuk 2:6

Doom On The Unrighteous

⁵ Moreover, wine betrays;
an arrogant man is never at rest.
He enlarges his appetite like Sheol,
and like Death he is never satisfied.
He gathers all the nations to himself;
he collects all the peoples for himself. ⁶ Won’t all of these take up a taunt against him,
with mockery and riddles about him?
They will say:

Woe to him who amasses what is not his—
how much longer?—
and loads himself with goods taken in pledge.
⁷ Won’t your creditors suddenly arise,
and those who disturb you wake up?
Then you will become spoil for them.

As Good as Dead

For Us

How Long

Time is Coming

Woe to Him
