5 “Moreover, wine ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll wealth} is ^ba traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew of these two lines is uncertain}
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death ^dhe has never enough.
^eHe gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”

Woe to the Chaldeans

6 Shall not all these ^ftake up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,

^g“Woe to him ^hwho heaps up what is not his own—
for ⁱhow long?—
and ^jloads himself with pledges!”

Habakkuk 2:12

and founds a city on iniquity!
