3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie.Though it delays, wait for it,since it will certainly come and not be late.
4 Look, his ego is inflated; he is without integrity.But the righteous one will live by his faith.
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.
8 Since you have plundered many nations, all the peoples who remain will plunder you —because of human bloodshedand violence against lands, cities,and all who live in them.
9 Woe to him who dishonestly makeswealth for his house to place his nest on high,to escape from the reach of disaster!
