2:5 Indeed, wine will betray the proud, restless man! 1
His appetite 2 is as big as Sheol’s; 3
like death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers 4 all the nations;
he seizes 5 all peoples.
2:6 “But all these nations will someday taunt him 6
and ridicule him with proverbial sayings: 7
‘The one who accumulates what does not belong to him is as good as dead 8
(How long will this go on?) 9 –
he who gets rich by extortion!’ 10
2:7 Your creditors will suddenly attack; 11
those who terrify you will spring into action, 12
and they will rob you. 13
