Verse 5
Habakkuk 2:5
World English Bible, British Edition
5
Yes, 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.

And even if the wine betrays, a proud man, he will not dwell who has enlarged like Sheol his soul; and he is like death and will not be satisfied, and he gathers to himself all the nations and collects to himself all the peoples.
