Habakkuk 2:5
Young's Literal Translation
5
And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples,

English Translation
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.
