Habakkuk 2:5

⁵Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol;^[+] he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.

KJV

⁵¶ Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:

BSB

⁵^[+] and 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.

FBV

⁵In addition wealth provides no security.^[+] Those who are arrogant never have any peace; their greedy mouths are as wide open as the grave,^[+] and like death they are never satisfied. They gather nations like possessions, swallowing up many peoples.
