Verse in context โ€” Habakkuk 2

2

Yahweh answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.

3

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won't delay.

4

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

5

Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn't stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.

6

Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?
