Habakkuk 2:4
Berean Standard Bible
Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright *— but the righteous will live by faith *—
Context
2Then the LORD answered me:
“Write down this vision
and clearly inscribe it on tablets,
so that a herald may run with it. 3For the vision awaits an appointed time;
it testifies of the end and does not lie.
Though it lingers, wait for it,
since it will surely come and will not delay.* 4Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright *—
but the righteous will live by faith *— 5and wealth * indeed betrays him.
He is an arrogant man never at rest.
He enlarges his appetite like Sheol,
and like Death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers all the nations to himself
and collects all the peoples as his own. 6Will not all of these take up a taunt against him,
speaking with mockery and derision:
‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his
and makes himself rich with many loans!
How long will this go on?’
