Habakkuk 2:5 in Context — Habakkuk 2
3 Pois a visão ainda é para um tempo determinado, mas ao fim ela dará testemunho, e não mentirá; se tardar, espera, porque virá; não se atrasará.
4 Eis que o soberbo não tem a alma correta em si; mas o justo viverá por sua fé.
5 Pois também o vinho é enganador, [é como] um homem arrogante, que não fica quieto em casa; sua avidez se alarga como o Xeol, e se assemelha à morte, que não se farta; e ajunta para si todas as nações, e reúne para si todos os povos.
6 Por acaso todos estes não levantarão um insulto e provérbios de zombaria contra ele? E dirão: Ai daquele que acumula o que não era seu, e daquele de se enriquece por meio de extorsão! Até quando?
7 Por acaso não se levantarão de repente seus credores, e se despertarão os que te fazem tremer? Tu serás despojado por eles.
