Habakkuk 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
6
'Will all of these not take up a song of ridicule against him,
Even a saying
and
insinuations against him
And say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself rich with debts!’
7
Will your creditors not rise up suddenly,
And those who collect from you awaken?
Indeed, you will become plunder for them.
8
Since you have looted many nations,
All the rest of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.
King James Version
Chapter 2
6
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
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 bloodshed
and violence against lands, cities,
and all who live in them.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
6
'But soon their captives will taunt them.
They will mock them, saying,
‘What sorrow awaits you thieves!
Now you will get what you deserve!
You’ve become rich by extortion,
but how much longer can this go on?’
7
Suddenly, your debtors will take action.
They will turn on you and take all you have,
while you stand trembling and helpless.
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
now all the survivors will plunder you.
You committed murder throughout the countryside
and filled the towns with violence.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
6
Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,
"Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own —
for how long? —
and loads himself with pledges!"
7
Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
New International Version
Chapter 2
6
"Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
" ‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!
How long must this go on?’
7
Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.
For you have shed human blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
6
“Will not all these take up a proverb against him,
And a taunting riddle against him, and say,
‘Woe to him who increases
What
is not his—how long?
And to him who loads himself with many pledges’?
7
Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8
Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land
and
the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
