Habakkuk 2:5

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

And yeah, because he's drunk on power and pride, this guy can't stay in his lane. His appetite is like a black hole — endless and destructive as death itself. He's never satisfied, so he keeps grabbing for more nations, collecting people like trophies.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Pride and greed are appetites that literally can't be filled — they'll swallow everything around you.
