2:4 Look, the one whose desires are not upright will faint from exhaustion, 1
but the person of integrity 2 will live 3 because of his faithfulness. 4
2:5 Indeed, wine will betray the proud, restless man! 5
His appetite 6 is as big as Sheol’s; 7
like death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers 8 all the nations;
he seizes 9 all peoples.
2:6 “But all these nations will someday taunt him 10
and ridicule him with proverbial sayings: 11
‘The one who accumulates what does not belong to him is as good as dead 12
(How long will this go on?) 13 –
he who gets rich by extortion!’ 14
